Where Lions sit in power rankings entering Week 5

Current rank: 4

Last week’s rank: 5

What Eric Woodyard had to say: “Although the Lions’ pass coverage has allowed only four touchdowns this season, Detroit’s defense could improve at lowering opponents’ QBR (55.6 through four games), which ranks 22nd in the league. In Week 1, Matthew Stafford completed 34 of 49 passes for 317 yards and a touchdown. Baker Mayfield went 12-for-19 with a TD in Week 2, while Geno Smith went 38-of-56 for 395 yards and a touchdown on Monday. Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said they ‘plan on improving every week,’ which they’ll have to do after surrendering 29 points against Seattle.”
