The Detroit Lions did not play particularly well during their Week 3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals but still came out on top for one very obvious reason. They won the turnover battle. After not coming up with a single takeaway so far in 2020, and not having a single game with multiple interceptions since the start of the Matt Patricia era in 2018, Detroit’s defense came up big. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was intercepted three times—all three by players new to the roster this year—leading on Detroit to the win.
The three interceptions were all very different than each other, though.
