Tennessee Titans Game Review: Lions Grind Out a Win to Move to 6-1
The Detroit Lions continue their impressive 2024 NFL season with a gritty win over the Tennessee Titans, moving to a strong 6-1 record. The Lions’ victory showcased their resilience and ability to adapt on both sides of the ball. Despite facing a tough Titans defensive line, the Lions’ offense, led by running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, the TE pair of Brock Wright and Sam LaPorta, and Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson crafted an attack that kept the Titans’ defense guessing. The biggest story is Dave Fipp’s special teams unit and the amazing play by Kalif Raymond playing a critical role, providing good field position, key scoring, and shutting down Tennessee’s return game.
However, not everything went according to plan. Aidan Hutchinson’s absence was felt as the Titans were able to sustain longer drives, exposing some gaps in the Lions’ pass rush. This win highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses of this Lions roster as they prepare for a critical match-up with their longtime rivals, the Green Bay Packers.
Trade Deadline Speculation: Will the Lions Look to Add an EDGE Rusher?
With the NFL trade deadline approaching on November 5th, there’s growing speculation that the Detroit Lions may need to make a move to bolster their defense. Aidan Hutchinson’s injury has raised questions about the Lions’ depth at the EDGE position, sparking discussions about whether they should trade for an additional pass rusher. A strong EDGE presence is crucial for maintaining the Lions’ defensive pressure, especially as they push for a playoff spot.
The front office, led by General Manager Brad Holmes, has shown a willingness to make bold moves to support this playoff-bound roster. As they sit atop the NFC North with a 6-1 record, trading for an established pass rusher could be the piece that cements their defensive success through the 2024 NFL season. The Lions may well target a veteran EDGE player to round out their roster ahead of the trade deadline.
Green Bay Packers Game Preview: Can the Lions Keep Rolling?
The Lions’ next game is against their division rivals, the Green Bay Packers, at Lambeau Field. A road game against Green Bay is never easy, but with the Lions’ momentum, there’s optimism they can handle the Packers’ offense. Without Hutchinson, the defense will need to find ways to create pressure and contain Green Bay’s quarterback. Dave Fipp’s special teams unit will also be crucial in controlling field position and limiting the Packers’ return opportunities.
