Just last week, Detroit Lions linebacker Josh Woods set a then-career-high in total tackles in a single game with eight.
This week, the Lions chose to start Woods, which was his first career NFL start. Woods absolutely dominated and set a new career-high with 13 total tackles, 10 solo tackles and two tackles for loss. In Sunday’s game against Denver, he led the Lions in tackles and also recorded a quarterback hit on Teddy Bridgewater.
With the start came more snaps for Woods. He appeared in 94% of the Lions’ defensive snaps in the 38-10 loss, in what was just his third time ever playing on defense for Detroit.
