The Detroit Lions‘ defense still has a long way to go before they can be considered a formidable unit, but they have certainly come a long way since the beginning of the season when they were looking like the worst defense in NFL history. The defense’s next test comes on Sunday when the Lions host the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field. With a win, the Lions will move to 6-7 on the season, and their playoff hopes will remain alive. A loss would be a nail in their coffin. Here is what we think the Lions starting defense will look like on Sunday against the Vikings.
