TIM AND MIKE: Week 15 observations
Secondary play: Detroit’s secondary played perhaps their most complete game of the season Saturday. Sutton and Ifeatu Melifonwu stood out. Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph were also good. Khalil Dorsey stepped into the No. 2 cornerback spot and played really well, allowing just two catches in his coverage all game. The Lions notched a season-high eight passes defended against the Broncos. – Tim Twentyman
Slow start: It took the Lions some time to get rolling on offense, which seems unlikely since they scored 42 points. They failed to score a point in three possessions in the first quarter. The flood gates opened after that – three TDs in the second quarter, one in the third and two in the fourth. – Mike O’Hara
Pressure package: The Lions pressured Denver quarterback Russell Wilson on 51.4 percent of his drop backs, which is a league-leading fifth time that number has been over 50 percent vs. an opponent this season, per Next Gen Stats. – Tim Twentyman
