## Resource

The Detroit Lions are banking on a healthier, more aggressive defense to turn the tide this season—especially with key players like Kerby Joseph and D.J. Reed back for full campaigns. Last year’s dismal 19 takeaways, heavily impacted by injuries, could be reversed with Joseph’s elite ball-hawking and Reed’s lockdown coverage, paired with Jack Campbell’s fumble-forcing prowess. A stronger pass rush and better ability to get off the field will be critical, as last season’s defensive penalties and lackluster second-half turnover production hurt their chances. With the Bears leading the league in takeaways, the Lions’ ability to close that gap could be the difference-maker in the brutal NFC North.
