John Cominsky, Alim McNeill Highest Lions PFF-Graded Defensive Players

Lions defense shines against Green Bay Packers.
In this story:

The Detroit Lions recorded another five sacks against the Green Bay Packers. 

In the past two games, Detroit's defense, which has become significantly more aggressive, has recorded a total of 12 sacks.

Defensive linemen John Cominsky and Alim McNeill earned the highest grades against the Green Bay Packers. 

Detroit's third-year head coach Dan Campbell kept the performance in perspective, but offered just how important he felt the win against a division rival meant to the team. 

"We have our own standards, our own goals and what we wanted to do," Campbell said. "And certainly one of those is win division. You got to win. You know, you got to win your division games, and man, if you can get them on the road, that goes a long way. So, we knew that. And this is important. It's not the end all, be all, but it is important."
