  • The Lions have weathered unparalleled bad luck with their defensive injuries, but Sunday's loss to the Bills showed Detroit could be in trouble.

The Detroit Lions' aspirations for a Super Bowl run could be jeopardized by injuries to key players on their defense. Notably, safety C.J.

These injuries come at a critical time as the Lions aim to maintain their competitive edge in the NFC North, where they've shown significant improvement this season. The absence of these players could weaken the Lions' defense, which has been crucial in their recent successes, potentially affecting their playoff chances and their ability to compete at the highest level.
