Thursday open thread: Will the Detroit Lions defense break their pick-six drought?

When Darius Slay took a Josh Rosen pass to the house for his first career pick six, it was the second time in the 2018 season that the Detroit Lions secondary found the end zone themselves. The previous occurrence was one of the most memorable in recent history, with Quandre Diggs nearly bringing down Ford Field on the very first play of the season.

Remarkably, Slay’s pick six was the last to be recorded by a Lions player. Three seasons have come and gone without one of the most exciting plays in football, which speaks to how badly Detroit defensive backs have looked at times during this stretch.
