Lions D/ST forces two turnovers in Week 16 win

The Lions D/ST forced two turnovers (two fumble recoveries) while also posting two sacks in a 34-17 win over the Bears in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

The unit turned in a solid performance when they needed it most, allowing less than 20 points for the first time in the last four games. The defense will look to take advantage of a San Francisco 49ers offense ravaged by injuries in a Week 17 Monday night matchup.

Lions D/ST allows 31 points in Week 14 win

The Lions D/ST allowed 31 points while notching one sack and forcing one turnover in a 34-31 win over the Packers in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Detroit's defense struggled against the run as Josh Jacobs scored three touchdowns against them in the Thursday night contest. The Lions recovered a Christian Watson fumble for their lone takeaway while they got a sack from the newly-acquired Za'Darius Smith. Detroit will have another tough test up next as they will face the red-hot Bills at home in Week 15.

Fantasy Impact
