Lions Defense A Strong Streamer Against Panthers
1 year agoThe Detroit Lions defense has exceeded expectations so far this year. Dan Campbell's stop unit is 13th in points per game allowed (20.8), seventh in sacks (13), and first in rushing yards allowed per game (60.8). In Week 5, the Lions matchup with the Carolina Panthers, who have scored just 16.8 points per game (ninth-fewest) and posted 306.2 yards per game (fourth-fewest). When considering all the stats listed, the Lions should have no issue shutting down the Carolina offense in this NFC matchup. Expect rookie Bryce Young to be under pressure all game long, which should lead to sacks and turnovers.
