Heading into this week’s matchup, the Detroit Lions will have their hands full with the Tennessee Titans, especially when it comes to their defense.
“This defense could potentially be the best defense we’ve faced up to date,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week.
The Titans have a strong run defense, ranked sixth according to DVOA, but their secondary is where the Lions can strike as that is ranked 15th according to DVOA. Despite the low ranking, the Titans' secondary isn’t something to scoff at, and with the Lions down a starting wide receiver—after Jameson Williams was suspended—it makes the job more difficult.
