The NFL’s No. 1 offense, in terms of yards and points per game, is coming to Foxborough on Sunday.
The Detroit Lions, as Patriots head coach Bill Belichick described them this week, are explosive, aggressive, and interesting.
So, with all that offensive firepower, why are they still 1-3 just like the Patriots?
Detroit’s defense has given up more yards and points than any other team in the league. They’re scoring 35 points a game, but they’re giving up 35.3.
That might bode well for a New England offense that was able to establish the run against Green Bay and execute enough passing plays to take the Packers to overtime with rookie Bailey Zappe filling in at quarterback.
