The Detroit Lions' defensive unit delivered a dominant performance against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, though the team's offensive line continued to show vulnerabilities.
Linebackers coach Shaun Dion Hamilton was seen consulting with linebacker Derrick Barnes during the first half, highlighting the defensive focus that helped contain the Dolphins' offense.
While the defense earned high marks in post-game evaluations, the offensive line's struggles remained a concern for the Lions as they look to improve consistency up front.
