The Detroit Lions had a skeleton crew on defense Monday, but it didn’t seem to matter.
The Lions were down four of their starters in the secondary. But the reserves came to play on Monday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had the best record in the NFC going into Monday’s matchup. Head coach Dan Campbell was surprised the defense held the Bucs to just 9 points but commended the players and defensive coaching staff for putting together a winning game plan.
