The Detroit Lions' defense continues to improve down the stretch and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn deserves a lot of credit for how he has been mixing and matching his available personnel. In their Week 17 game against the Cowboys, the Lions leaned on a more athletic front in order to stop the run and the results were promising.
Here’s a closer look at the Lions’ personnel decisions that led to them moving to 11-5 on the season.
Offense
Quarterbacks
Jared Goff: 69 (100%)
Teddy Bridgewater: N/A
Hendon Hooker: INACTIVE
Goff, once again, played every offensive snap as this game came down to the wire.
