Why the Detroit Lions should trade for Patrick Peterson

The Detroit Lions finally look like a force to be reckoned with in the NFC North. On Sunday, we saw the Lions handle the Miami Dolphins with relative ease thanks to an effective running game and an efficient passing game, with the defense doing enough to keep the Dolphins out of the end zone too often.

With the NFL trade deadline fast approaching, Detroit has an opportunity to make some moves to improve this Lions team before it passes on Tuesday, October 30, 2018, at 4:00 p.m. ET.

The Lions are in the thick of a heated NFC North battle and if they make the right move(s) before the trade deadline comes and goes, they could give themselves an extra boost.
