In Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Detroit Lions allowed the second most points in the NFL (38), the third most yards (455) and were one of seven teams who failed to force a turnover.
And while defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said he was “disappointed” with the defense’s performance, he also wanted to be clear that there were a lot of encouraging things he took from his unit against the Eagles. Chief among those positives was the energy the defense brought to the field—although, at times, that turned out to be a negative, too.
