STATS PACK: Takeaways key in Lions' win over Cardinals

The takeaways kept coming for the Detroit Lions' defense in their 35-23 win over Arizona on Sunday. When it was all said and done, the Lions notched three interceptions and recovered a fumble for four takeaways total.

To put that performance in a little bit of perspective: It’s the first time the Lions have forced four turnovers in a single game since 2013. They did it twice that season -- Week 1 against Minnesota (3 INT, 1 FR) and Week 4 against Chicago (3 INT, 1 FR).

The Lions had 14 takeaways all of last season, which made them fourth worst in the NFL in that category.
