Barnes in Spider-Man Gear Shines | Detroit Lions News

Derrick Barnes turned heads in the Lions’ season opener—dressed as Spider-Man with his son, then dominating the field with five tackles, an interception, a sack, and a tackle for loss, becoming the first Lion linebacker to record two pass defenses, a sack, and an interception in one game. The defense’s run-stopping improvements held the Saints to under three yards per carry, but the pass rush still needs work as New Orleans threw for over 400 yards and three TDs. In a wild OT finish, the Saints went for two instead of tying it—and missed. Barnes’ all-around impact is proving vital as the Lions start 1-0.
