The Detroit Lions defense might not look all that improved. The unit has given up 65 points through two games, third most of any NFL team.
But second-year defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn sees a group that has made adjustments, growing in both understanding and confidence, and just had one of its best halves under his watch through 19 games.
"That was a fun, fun way to play defense, because that's the vision of who we want to be," Glenn said about the first half against the Washington Commanders, when his unit allowed just 56 yards, two first downs and had a safety.
