The Lions average a hair under 25 points, 10th most in the NFL. Their defense is yielding a scary 6.5 yards per snap the past two weeks. Carolina’s two-week offensive slump was buried with a 33 against the Patriots. Panthers safety Kurt Coleman (knee) is out, same as his backup, Demetrious Cox. QB Matthew Stafford can pick on the patched-up secondary. With 11 takeaways, Stafford welcomes the short fields presented to him by the defense. Similarly, Carolina QB Cam Newton will make the most of a substantial size advantage with WR/DB matchups.
