Lions' Defense Exposed Against Allen | Detroit Lions News

The Lions’ defense unraveled in the second half against the Saints, surrendering over 300 passing yards as Tyler Shough shredded them with big plays — nearly costing them the game before they clawed back to win. Aging corners D.J. Reed and Rock Ya-Sin were repeatedly beaten deep, exposing a shaky zone scheme. With key safeties sidelined and nickel backs still developing, the Lions are relying on veterans who’re past their prime — until Branch and Joseph return. Now, facing Josh Allen and the Bills, Detroit’s secondary will be tested even more: Allen thrives on chaos and chunk plays, and despite Buffalo’s slower receivers, he’ll exploit any gap. The Lions must lock down every play — because if they don’t, D.J. Moore could be the next receiver to torch them.
