Last season, the Detroit Lions’ offense and defense were both a disappointment en route to a 6-10 season. However, it was a tale of two trades that changed the trajectory of both units.
After a middling 3-3 start to the season, including giving up 114 points in the first four games, the Lions traded for Damon Harrison. He provided immediate relief to the defensive line. A’Shawn Robinson had a breakout season paired with Snacks, while players like Christian Jones and Ricky Jean Francois saw significant improvement in their play.
Though Francois is gone, the Lions have added plenty of new faces to upgrade their defense.
