Has Detroit ever had a good defense?
The last truly elite, consensus "good" defense the Detroit Lions had was in 2014. [1]
Led by defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and anchored by a ferocious interior defensive line featuring Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley, the 2014 Lions defense finished No. 2 in the NFL in total defense (allowing just 300.9 yards per game) and No. 3 in scoring defense (allowing 17.6 points per game). They also boasted the league's top-ranked rushing defense, holding opponents to an incredibly low 69.3 yards per game on the ground. [1]
 
Detroit, in 4 games this season, has give up 127 points. That averages 31.75 points per game. They aren't going anywhere if they don't get that defense improved.
