Eight weeks of the 2022 NFL season have played out. It’s not quite the halfway point in a 17-game schedule, but it’s still a nice breaking point in the season.

Here is where the Lions rank in various statistical categories across the NFL after Week 8. Each section breaks down the finer points of the deeper statistics too.
