There is no mystery about the formula this week for HC Dan Campbell: if the Detroit Lions don’t generate pressure on Jordan Love, they risk reliving the same defensive unraveling Green Bay handed them all the way back in Week 1, a 27-13 loss at Lambeau.
This fall, defensive pressure has been one of Detroit’s most inconsistent areas, and the evidence is written all over the numbers. In their last meeting with the Packers, the Lions failed to record a single sack and mustered just two quarterback hits -- an absence of disruption that allowed Green Bay to cruise offensively, pick apart the coverage structure, and dictate pace from start to finish.
