After poor seasons in four of five years under Dan Campbell, is there hope in the Detroit Lions’ defensive future or are big changes needed?

The Detroit Lions have a clear No. 1 running back in Jahmyr Gibbs. For veteran David Montgomery, his snap counts and the amount of carries have reduced from last season, while Gibbs has become the focal point of Detroit's rushing attack.

The Lions can put them in the best position by finishing 3-0, but even that doesn't guarantee them a postseason invitation.

While not part of the 53-man roster yet, Manu likely sits behind Taylor Decker, Penei Sewell, and Dan Skipper on the depth chart. Rookie Miles Frazier is also capable of playing tackle in a pinch, and Detroit also has Devin Cochran on their practice squad.

Appearing on his weekly radio interview with 97.1 The Ticket, quarterback Jared Goff expressed a slight level of frustration that there is growing doubt the team can win their final three games, and be one of seven teams in the NFC that earns a postseason berth.

The Detroit Lions are a National Football League team that plays in the NFC North division. The Lions have yet to win a Super Bowl title over the course of their history.

A second-half collapse in L.A. has put the Lions' season on the brink. But there's still a path back to the postseason for Dan Campbell and Co.

Stafford & Co. ended up outscoring Detroit, 24-10, in the final half of play. And all afternoon long, Kelvin Sheppard's defense had no answer for Nacua and Adams, who combined for 252 receiving yards. Nacua consistently thrashed Detroit's defensive backs, leading all receivers on the day with 181 yards while averaging 20.1 yards per catch.

"Stuff happens, man, you know, it’s football, trying to be a hero. I like to punch the ball, you know, but that ain’t gonna stop me. I’m going to continue doing it."
