*The Lions secondary struggled containing the Packers passing attack early on and it particularly showed for veteran cornerback D.J. Reed, who had the lowest defensive grade of his career of 38.0. According to PFF, he was targeted five times, resulting in four catches for 47 yards.
The grades are in from Pro Football Focus following Detroit's ugly 27-13 Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers. While there were a small handful of high grades, the overall output is plenty of average to below-average grades. That's to be expected after the Lions didn't score a touchdown until late in the game, thanks to rookie Isaac TeSlaa.
The Lions had several blown assignments and averaged 3.8 yards per play against the Packers, their lowest total since Week 6 of 2021.
So here's one from the Packers' 27-13 victory over the Lions in Week 1 – Detroit running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combined to average just 2.7 yards each time they touched the ball. Two-point-seven. That's barely a first down every four touches.
