When the Detroit Lions take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon, they will catch a little break as both QB Ben Roethlisberger and WR Chase Claypool are OUT.
That being said, the Lions defense has struggled to make big plays so far in 2021 and that will have to change if they want to pick up their first win of the season.
Here is what the Lions starting defense should look like on Sunday.
DL – Michael Brockers
DL – Nick Williams
NT – Alim McNeill
EDGE – Charles Harris
EDGE – Romeo Okwara
LB – Alex Anzalone
LB – Derrick Barnes
CB – Amani Oruwariye
CB – Jerry Jacobs
FS – Tracy Walker
SS – Will Harris
