Through the first four games of the 2023 NFL season, the Detroit Lions sport an impressive 3-1 record that includes road wins in Kansas City and Green Bay. It’s a great first quarter of the season.
(Technically, the first quarter of the 17-game season occurs after the first quarter of the Week 5 game, but I digress…)
The Pro Football Focus grading through the season’s first quarter does a good job in detailing how Detroit won three of its first four games. PFF metrics from the Lions in relation to the rest of the league are a good barometer for how Dan Campbell’s team is faring compared to other teams.
Here’s how the PFF team metric grades for Detroit rank after Week 4, with some thoughts on notable scores from other teams as well.
