Defense playing conservative vs. experienced quarterbacks

No fly zone deep over the middle for Bears D
Quarterbacks have a 0.0 passer rating when attempting passes targeted 20-plus yards downfield between the numbers against the Bears this season.
Stafford struggles against the blitz
When blitzed this season, Matthew Stafford has a passer rating of 78.0, 16 points below league average.
Who will fill in for Tate in the slot?

Harrison a great addition to defensive interior
Damon Harrison has a 93.1 run defense grade this season, tied for second-highest among interior defenders.
Hand looking like a draft steal
Fourth-round rookie interior defender Da'Shawn Hand has been making noise all season for the Lions defense. He leads all rookie interior defenders in pass rush grade and total pressures.
