Detroit Lions Level Up, Ready For Houston Texans

Bleav in Lions

Jared Goff is an MVP candidate. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery make up the best running back duo in the league. Amon-Ra St. Brown remains one of the most reliable, productive wide receivers in the NFL. Detroit's offensive line is mauling people and making life easy for everyone on offense. On defense, the Lions are getting key stops and forcing opportune turnovers despite not having Aidan Hutchinson. So, general manager Brad Holmes made a move to add edge rusher Za'Darius Smith at the trade deadline giving the Lions a bonafide pass rusher to offset the loss of Hutch. The result? The Super Bowl contenders in Detroit just got better — bring on the Texans.
