The Lions have a better defense than the stats will tell you, especially against the run. Their front-7 is aggressive and will swarm to the football.
After a few weeks of letting up a big run or two, the Lions put together a complete game of run defense, holding the best RB in football to less than 80 yards on the ground. Guys like Damon Harrison, Mike Daniels, and Trey Flowers on the defensive line are rugged hog mollies who will be a challenge even for the Raiders offensive line to push around.
