Earlier in the season when the Lions faced a dynamic rushing threat of a quarterback in Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts, the defense elected not to use a “spy” on Hurts. After Hurts gashed the Lions for 90 yards on 17 carries, defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn remained adamant that he was not a proponent of using a spy on Hurts.
Glenn wanted the Lions to focus on personal responsibility and “not being reckless” in their pass rush. It didn’t work.
