Detroit Lions Defense

✦ Blitz AI

The Detroit Lions defense rates as one of the weakest units in the league at 19.4, ranking 26th at the position. The defense has been dragged down by poor performance allowing points and yards, both in the bottom quarter of NFL defenses this season, though it has compensated somewhat with elite pass rush efficiency in the 91st percentile. The current rating blends five games of 2026 data with the team's 2025 season, which itself rated lower than prior years, pulling the overall assessment down from what the raw 2026 numbers alone would suggest.
