As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. This year, Jonathan Heitritter and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on the scheme, and Jonathan will analyze the players.
Today, we are scouting the Detroit Lions’ defense ahead of Week 16’s game against Pittsburgh.

Lions’ Run Defense
The Lions run a base 4-3, but DE Aidan Hutchinson can play with his hand up or down. Overall, the run defense has been above-average.
