The Detroit Lions’ pass rush next to Aidan Hutchinson is a big concern

A lot of things went wrong for the Detroit Lions on both sides of the ball in their season-opening 27-13 road loss to the Green Bay Packers, but their lack of a pass rush was among the most glaring issues.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love was kept clean essentially all afternoon. Detroit only recorded six pressures, tied for the second-fewest of any NFL team in Week 1. They were one of just three teams in the NFL to not record a sack in the season opener, along with Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers.

Three of those pressures came from Aidan Hutchinson, who was playing in his first game since the devastating leg injury he suffered against the Dallas Cowboys in October of 2024.
