By means of five video games, the Lions are enabling touchdowns on merely 46.7% of red area journeys, which is actually the 11th-best symbol in the NFL.Along with an outburst as potent as Detroit's is, if they can match that with an excellent red region self defense, this team will continue to thrive.
