The surging 6-7 Detroit Lions have claimed five victories in their latest six contests and find themselves battling for a postseason spot. The Lions have showcased steady improvement throughout the season. Sunday’s victory over the division-leading Minnesota Vikings was extremely impressive. Head coach Dan Campbell has the franchise trending in the right direction.
Starting inside linebacker Alex Anzalone has taken on a crucial leadership role. Anzalone leads all Lions defenders in tackles with 100. Anzalone has also recorded six pass breakups, four tackles for loss, one interception, one fumble forced and one fumble recovered. He’s been a defensive difference-maker.
Anzalone joined The Lions Wire for an exclusive discussion earlier this week live from Forgotten Harvest Warehouse in Oak Park, Michigan. Anzalone was delivering meals to those in need alongside Campbell’s Chunky and their Chunky Sacks Hunger relief program. Anzalone discussed Detroit’s current form, defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, the improvement shown by Malcolm Rodriguez and so much more.
