What they do not do is stop anyone else throwing. The 261 passing yards a game Detroit concede is the highest figure in the league, and New England average 250 of their own.
New England’s problem is handing it back. Drake Maye threw three interceptions last week in a 45-27 defeat, and Detroit score too freely for that to be survivable twice.
