The secondary is still a bit of an issue, especially with Emmanuel Mosley and CJ Gardner-Johnson going down. Those are big injuries for this team. They knew their weakness and tried to address it in the off-season. There is an outside shot CJG can come back at some point later this year. At the moment, with Branch out, too, it's the exact same secondary + Cam Sutton that was pretty bad last year. I could see the Lions possibly making a move to get another defensive back at the deadline.

They've had the fortune of playing against Mahomes sans Kelce, Ridder, Love, Young and Bakes. That's not a Murder's Row of QBs. The only legit QB with good weapons they've faced was Geno Smith and the Seahawks and Geno carved up the Lions secondary like a Christmas ham.

The Lions have one the easiest schedules in the NFC going forward. They play at Baltimore next week, at the Chargers two weeks later, and play at Dallas near the end of the season. Other than that they have Green Bay again, Minnesota and Chicago twice, Las Vegas, Denver and New Orleans.

If Montgomery and Gibbs can get healthy and Jamo comes around, this offense could be really something with those guys, that offensive line, St. Brown & LaPorta, and wunderkind Ben Johnson pulling the levers.
