Analysis: Lions look like playoff contender vs. Chiefs, but can't finish and lose 34-30 at Ford Field, Sept. 29, 2019. Carlos Monarrez, Dave Birkett and Shawn Windsor, Detroit Free Press

The Lions are tied for fourth with eight takeaways this season. They are tied for first with six fumble recoveries and tied for second with eight forced fumbles.
Now it’s almost part of the defense’s DNA.
