The Detroit Lions can absolutely right this ship

Detroit Lions face offensive line crisis after crushing Vikings loss. Can Brad Holmes make a big move before trade deadline?

Matt Dery breaks down the Lions' disappointing 27-24 home defeat to Minnesota, analyzing why the 5-3 record still keeps playoff hopes alive despite poor execution across all phases. The discussion covers Christian Mahogany's significant leg injury that will sideline him "a while," offensive coordinator John Morton's failure to adjust against Minnesota's blitz, and alarming third-down conversion statistics showing the Lions at just 30.6% over four games—their worst stretch since 2022.

Key topics include Pro Football Focus grades revealing widespread struggles from normally reliable players like Alim McNeil and Amik Robertson, the upcoming must-win road game against Washington's injury-depleted Commanders, and urgent trade deadline targets. Dery identifies potential offensive line acquisitions including Kevin Zeitler, Wyatt Teller, and Evan Brown, emphasizing that Brad Holmes must act aggressively before the 4 PM deadline to protect Detroit's Super Bowl window.

Will the Lions front office make the necessary moves to shore up their struggling offensive line and keep championship aspirations alive?
