The Detroit Lions are hoping for a defensive resurgence in 2021. That after fielding the worst defense in the NFL last season.
The Lions ranked dead last in total yards in 2020 allowing a whopping 6,716 to opposing offenses. The passing defense ranked 30th (4,558), the run defense was ranked 28th (2,158), and their scoring defense allowed an average of 32.4 points per game, the most points in the NFL last season.
Motown is in rebuilding mode after hiring a new general manager in Brad Holmes and a new head coach in Dan Campbell this offseason.
