"Strong Secondary and Offensive Breakthrough: Lions' Impressive Win Over Broncos"

The Detroit Lions' secondary delivered a strong performance in their 42-17 win over the Denver Broncos. Pro Football Focus gave cornerback Cam Sutton his best grade since Week 6, while Kindle Vildor was the team's highest-graded defender in Week 15. Safety Ifeatu Melifonwu had an impressive breakout game, despite PFF ranking him 10th on the defense. The Lions' new combinations in the back end showed promise, with the secondary containing the Broncos' dangerous receiver duo. The offensive line's return of key starters played a crucial role in the Lions' success, allowing quarterback Jared Goff to throw five touchdown passes and the team to rush for 185 yards. Amon-Ra St. Brown had a standout performance, and Aidan Hutchinson led the defense with five pressures.
