NFL pass-rusher rankings ahead of Week 12 (3 Aidan Hutchinson.  Season Highlights - Most Pressures: Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions:  Hutchinson generated five pressures against the Eagles, bringing his season total to 62 — six more than the next closest player (Parsons, 56). Hutchinson has been a model of consistency when it comes to rushing the passer, recording at least five pressures in eight of 10 games this season.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pass-rusher-rankings-week-12-2025

Ranking the NFL's 10 most valuable non-quarterbacks in 2025 (WR Amon-Ra. St. Brown, Detroit Lions – 0.42.  St. Brown was the NFL’s most valuable receiver a season ago, and he’s only a stone’s throw away from that title in 2025. The Lions star has been productive as ever with an 85.5 PFF receiving grade and 2.33 yards per route run while also hauling in 50% of his contested tries. Further, St. Brown is in the 75th percentile in separation rate against single coverage.  T Penei Sewell, Detroit Lions – 0.55.  Yet again, Sewell has a case to be the best non-quarterback — if not all-around player — in football. His 94.9 PFF grade is the best of anyone in the NFL, including over seven points better than the next-closest qualified offensive lineman. The Lions star has generated a ridiculous 97.2 PFF run-blocking grade through 11 weeks, which is the second-best by any qualified lineman in PFF history in that span.):  https://www.pff.com/news/ranking-the-10-most-valuable-non-quarterbacks-in-the-nfl-in-2025

NFL Pro Bowl sleepers: Ten overlooked players quietly having standout 2025 seasons (Jack Campbell
Detroit Lions · LB:  Campbell has come into his own in Year 3. He’s arguably the key reason the Lions have been able to remain a top-10 defense despite the injuries that have decimated the secondary. With Fred Warner out for the season, Campbell has become the most well-rounded linebacker in the NFL in 2025. He’s studly against the run, ranking tied for sixth in the NFL in tackles with 91, and ranks second with 41 stops. He’s a timely blazer, generating 12 QB pressures (tied for 11th among linebackers) and four sacks (tied for most among LBs). And he’s stellar in coverage, allowing 7.1 YPC, fifth-best among LBs with at least 250 coverage snaps, per PFF. The hard-nosed defender is everything the Lions thought he could be when they made him a first-round pick in 2023.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-pro-bowl-sleepers-ten-overlooked-players-quietly-having-standout-2025-seasons

2025 NFL Defensive Tiers Week 12: How the Cowboys' Defense Jumped 3 Tiers (Bet the under - Detroit Lions:  The Lions deserve a lot of credit for their defensive showing against the Eagles, albeit in a loss.  Playing with a banged-up secondary, Detroit held Philadelphia to 124 passing yards (its third-worst mark of the season), including only one completion of 20-plus yards. The Lions also kept the Eagles, who boast the league’s top red-zone offense, to 1-for-3 inside the 20 and 4-for-15 on third down.  Of course, Philly has an inconsistent offense, but the showing marked a big step forward for Detroit’s No. 10-ranked scoring defense, which should get All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph and starting cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold back at some point.):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/2025-nfl-defensive-tiers-week-12-why-eagles-cowboys-rising
