Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowDetroit Lions’ safety fix could be Avonte MaddoxLosing Brian Branch to a torn Achilles is a huge blow for the Lions’ defense, especially with Kerby Joseph’s knee issues still lingering. But here’s the twist: Avonte Maddox, a Detroit native, just stepped up big time against Dallas, playing every snap and earning top grades from Pro Football Focus. He’s mostly played slot corner, but now he’s showing he can handle safety duties, too. If Maddox keeps this up, he might be the answer to Detroit’s injury problems in the secondary—no need for a flashy free agent. How do you feel about trusting Maddox in this critical role? #Sports #Football #DetroitLions00Share
Christopher Hughes+FollowDetroit Lions rookie Tyleik Williams steps upTyleik Williams is finally showing why the Lions made him a first-round pick, and it couldn’t come at a better time for Detroit.

Aaron Taylor+FollowLions’ playoff hopes hinge on shaky O-lineLosing Frank Ragnow again just as the Lions were hoping for a late-season boost has thrown Detroit’s playoff push into chaos.
