Summary

The Pride of Detroit crew is back with another hard-hitting episode—this time, we’re diving into the defensive side of the NFC North. We break down and power rank the front sevens and secondaries of each team in the division, from disruptive pass rushers to lockdown corners. Where do the Detroit Lions stack up now as we head into training camp? Are they ready to take the top spot, or is there still work to be done? Tune in as we discuss who has the most complete defense and what it means for the 2025 NFC North race. Want to support the PODcast? Get the gift of meat!
