The Detroit Lions have an elite offense. They rank fifth in points per game (26.8 PPG) and seventh in offensive DVOA (+10.2%). Detroit’s offense has been especially electric in recent weeks, scoring 32.2 points per game over its past five games.
You would never know the Lions’ offense is this good if you just scanned Detroit’s depth chart at the skill positions.
The Lions have Jared Goff at quarterback, who was considered mediocre (at best) coming into the season. Their pass-catching unit is led by a star in second-year wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown, but they don’t have anyone else that scares you.
