## Resource

The Detroit Lions are revamping their defense under new coordinator Kelvin Sheppard, shifting toward more zone coverage and nickel packages to counter elite quarterbacks like Jordan Love and Caleb Williams—after narrowly missing the playoffs last season due to two crushing losses to Green Bay. With injuries and man-coverage struggles in the past, Sheppard’s fresh approach aims to keep offenses guessing and force quarterbacks to hold the ball longer, turning defense into a modern, adaptable weapon.
