Quote:The entire story of the defensive this year is that they are historically bad at creating turnovers:

And it is not just because they are not very good at creating pressure. They are actually middle of the pack of NFL teams this season:


 

Sacks - 26 (21st)


Sack Percentage of Drop backs – 5.8 % (14th)


Hurries – 88 (T9th).


 

There has to be some issue with the defense's play/route recognition and reaction which could point to poor prep or fear of making a mistake.
 

   Regarding the chart, one correction that I"m aware of.   It was the 2008 Lions that went 0-16 had only had 4 interceptions all season long.   The 2014 Lions,  which went 11-5 and to the playoffs as a Wildcard,  had 20 interceptions.  Including 7 by Pro Bowl S Glover Quin.
