Detroit Lions: Weakest Link in All Three Phases

Weak:

Punter – A bit of a down year for Sam Martin, but not the biggest concern on special teams. Although he dropped off a bit in rankings, he was still rated in the top half of the NFL for punt average.

Weaker:

Kicker – After a frustrating start to the 2014 season going through kickers Nate Freese and Alex Henery, the Detroit Lions brought in Matt Prater as a third attempt to relieve their kicking woes.
