HOLY SMOKES!
The transformation from last year’s struggles to this year’s dominance is striking. The Lions have allowed just 342
rushing yards in the first five games of the season (68.4 yards per game), positioning them with the third-lowest
rushing yards allowed in the league. This accomplishment also marks a historic achievement, as it represents the
fewest rushing yards given up by the Lions through the first five weeks of any season, dating back to at least 1932!
Bottom Line – A Defensive Revolution
The Detroit Lions have undergone a defensive revolution, transitioning from struggles to success in stopping the run.
Their ability to consistently limit opponents in a ground game that has seen record-breaking performances adds an
exciting layer to the team’s identity. As they continue this remarkable run, they establish themselves as a force to be
reckoned with in the 2023 season.
