Lions Defense Not a Viable Option In Week 9
6 years agoThe Detroit Lions defense is in a tough spot this week on the road against the Vikings. This follows a week where the Lions surrendered 28 points and over 400 yards of offense to the Seattle Seahawks. They also allowed 176 yards on the ground last week, their fourth game allowing over 168 rushing yards this year. While the addition of defensive tackle Damon Harrison should help up front, the Lions have been without defensive end Ziggy Ansah for the last six games. Combine the fact that the Minnesota offense averages 385 yards a game with an implied total of 51 points by Vegas, there are better streaming options this week than Detroit.
