Lions vs. Raiders bold prediction: Lions D corrals Josh Jacobs in primetime

The Detroit Lions defense has been stout against the run all season. They rank second in the league with 76 rush yards allowed per game, even after last week’s disaster in Baltimore. A quick look at their performance against RB1s tells a compelling story:

RB1s against the Detroit Lions defense this season:
- Aaron Jones: 5 rushes, 18 yds
- Bijan Robinson: 10 rushes, 33 yards
- Kenneth Walker III: 17 rushes, 43 yards
- Isaiah Pacheco: 8 rushes, 23 yards— Hamza Baccouche #BNL (@HamzaPOD) September 29, 2023

This was prior to the Lions holding the entire Tampa Bay Buccaneers team to 46 rushing yards just a couple weeks ago.
