Detroit Lions report card: All levels of defense shine in win over Falcons

The Detroit Lions got a shockingly good defensive performance against the Atlanta Falcons to move to 2-1 on the season. And while there will be a ton of focus on the defensive line for helping the team notch seven sacks and hold the Falcons lethal running game to basically nothing, it was truly a team effort on that side of the ball.

Offensively, there were plenty of bumps in the road, but Detroit did enough to come away with a comfortable victory.

Here are my Week 3 positional grades for the Lions.

Quarterback: B

In the first half, Jared Goff was his typical, dominant self.
