The Lions were led by a cast of many on defense including cornerback Amik Robertson, who held star Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson to three catches for 54 yards on the evening.

He doesn't think it's the reason why the Vikings lost on Sunday night, but Justin Jefferson believes the Lions' defensive backs should've been called for more penalties in the game. Detroit played very physically in man coverage all night,

“He is a special one. He’s my type of guy,” Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said. “I think he’s one of the toughest guys playing in that position. He’s an old-school player, in my opinion. It’s almost like a defensive guy playing receiver.”
