Part 4/7:
Experts highlighted the adaptability and aggression of Aaron Glenn's defensive scheme. The combination of varied coverages and pressure kept Darnold feeling uneasy, effectively disrupting the Vikings’ offensive rhythm. The Lions employed a combination of man and zone coverage strategies, frequently mixing it up to keep opposing receivers like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison under wraps.
D-wood emphasized that if the Lions sustain this defensive intensity, they could very well represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. With players returning from injury and a fresh energy heading into the playoffs, observers are recognizing the Lions as a serious contender.
