Yes, they are quite terrible. Whereas the Rams and Browns both improved their defensive efforts following the bye, the Lions have remained just as bad on defense.

The Lions' score against the Texans got inflated by a 96 yd TD pass to Calvin Johnson that was an 8 point swing following a conversion (and probably a ten point swing once you conider that it pulled them out of horrible field position). That play absolutely never happens vs. the Redskins.

The Lions are probably much, much worse than they seem.
