The Detroit Lions had several issues in 2017. Problems that ultimately forced head coach Jim Caldwell to the unemployment line. But passing the ball wasn’t one of them.
With quarterback Matthew Stafford under center, and a talented trio of wide receivers in Golden Tate, Marvin Jones and rookie Kenny Golladay, the Lions passing attack was one of the few things that went right for the Motor City last season. Detroit finished the year as the NFL’s sixth best passing offense, averaging 261 yards per game through the air.
