It is no secret that the strength of the Detroit Lions is the team’s offense, specifically the run game. Forged from a culture of toughness and determination, the personnel fits Dan Campbell’s mentality, and 2023 should see the Lions continue to lean on their offensive line and ability to run the football.
While on paper it seems like Detroit has a clear advantage in this area, it has not always played out this way. When considering running backs with 30 or more carries in 2022, the Lions as a team ranked just 17th at 4.41 YPC.
