The Detroit Lions are 5-2 headed into their Week 9 clash against the Minnesota Vikings, having gotten through a much-needed bye week and into a practice week that'll see the return of Malcolm Rodriguez and Terrion Arnold. Key defensive pieces are coming back into the fold as the Lions look to keep pace with the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North.
Of course, there's more than enough room for improvement for Detroit, even beyond their injury woes. Their offense has left something to be desired on a few fronts, specifically, as it pertains to their third down conversion rate.
