Ridiculous stat highlights Detroit Lions’ tough red-zone defense

The Detroit Lions offense has been catching a lot of headlines after their 47-point performance against the Dallas Cowboys, and the only thing anyone seems to want to talk about defensively is the injury to Aidan Hutchinson.

However, the Lions PR Twitter account dropped a statistic on Tuesday morning that brought some serious attention to the work the Lions defense has been doing, particularly when they’re deep in their own zone. Per the account, when opposing teams are throwing into the end zone this year, they’re a collective just 1-of-14 for 10 yards, one touchdown, and five interceptions.
