Detroit Lions PR drops defensive stat that will blow your mind

Through the first five games of the 2023 season, the Detroit Lions have showcased a rush defense that can only be described as extraordinary. Notably, they have not allowed a single opponent to breach the 100-yard mark on the ground during this period, a feat that underlines their remarkable consistency in stopping the run. On Tuesday, the Lions‘ PR dropped a defensive stat that will blow your mind!

HOLY SMOKES!

The transformation from last year’s struggles to this year’s dominance is striking. The Lions have allowed just 342 rushing yards in the first five games of the season (68.4 yards per game), positioning them with the third-lowest rushing yards allowed in the league. This accomplishment also marks a historic achievement, as it represents the fewest rushing yards given up by the Lions through the first five weeks of any season, dating back to at least 1932!
