Lions Saints Matchup Deep Dive | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions’ passing game stayed elite despite a shaky offensive line, but Goff took a career-high number of sacks. The Saints’ pass defense improved late last season, helped by an easier schedule, while their offense struggled until a mid-season QB change. New weapons and tight ends give the Saints hope, but injuries could hurt early. The Lions’ run game collapsed late last year, and new coaching + line changes may fix it. The Saints’ run defense was surprisingly efficient per play, but losing key defenders adds uncertainty. Matchup-wise, the Lions’ pass defense is average at best, but they’re upgrading secondary and rush. The Saints’ run game was awful — but they’re rebuilding the line and RB corps to turn things around. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
