They have actually allowed the 11th best passer rating over the last three weeks. The pass rush is also performing very well. Below is a snippet from the article.

A good pass rush has helped. The Lions are sixth overall on the season in sack percentage and seventh in the last three weeks. Inserting speedier Jalen Reeves-Maybin into the lineup at LB has worked well, and safety Tracy Walker?s strong performance in coverage certainly helps too.

The talent we currectly have on the field on defense is definitely bottom 3 in the NFL so to perform like they have is a testament to this coaching staff, IMO.

are they really getting any better? They played 3 teams that are more running teams...especially the Ravens and Bears with Fields. I wouldn't get too excited.

We will find out. Joe Burrow and Matt Stafford having a great year coming up

Ravens game there was some drops too but still those happen for every team in their favor. Finally someone dropping balls against the Lions. Sick of seeing WRs making circus catches of their careers. Jefferson had one and Fields probably had the best throw of his young career too against the Lions

With the talent they have on D....any higher than dead last is a win for the scheme they run and coaching of Campbell and Glenn. No BS. Dead last in talent, IMO.

On offense, we shouldn't be last......but injuries are killing us. No Decker, no Williams, no Ragnow, no Cephus.....we are likely very near the bottom of offensive talent, as well. Jets probably have less. So anything above 31 on offense is a W for Campbell and Lynn.

i saw nothing to suggest we're any better in pass defense. Minnesota tried to run the ball the entire game. It seemed like any pass to Jefferson was complete....at anytime...anywhere on the field...no matter who was covering him. Prevent pass defense the last :50 seconds of a game is worst in the NFL lol....if anyone needs factual evidence of this let me know.
