After a truly dreadful first four games, the Detroit Lions defense has calmed the storm in the last two games. Coordinator Aaron Glenn’s unit is still giving up too many points, but they’ve been able to get some stops and cut back on the too-easy gains for the opposing offense in games against New England and Dallas.
In Week 8, Glenn’s unit faces a different kind of challenge than they’ve seen in the recent uptick. The Miami Dolphins have outstanding speed on the outside with WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Glenn knows their speed and playmaking ability is something the Lions have to mitigate if Detroit is to have any chance in Ford Field on Sunday.
