I wouldnt say theyre getting by. The secondary is playing light out and even without sacks the d line is getting pressure. They have one of the best defenses in football the last 4 or 5 weeks and just made the number 1 offense in the league look bad. It was what, 2 years ago when the lions had the second best D in the league just short of Seattle?
It shouldnt be surprising that this years defense is solid. They arent absolutely amazing but theyre solid and the offense is solid. Not really a surprise the Lions are doing what theyve done this year but because its the lions people will always be iffy on them. Prater has also been a stud. Denver cutting him when they did couldnt have worked out better for the Lions
Kerry Hyder is bringing the pressure (if he's still a starter). Guy was one of the top sackers in the league
Also the only challenge the lions really should have in the playoffs is the patriots (outside chance for cardinals)
Everyone else just has great offence and bad defense this year. All the good dfence teams don't have a good offence. So it could be exciting
