Lions offense finished in the top 10 in every PFF metric

USA Today

The Detroit Lions offense was clearly good on the surface. Ben Johnson’s unit finished fifth in scoring and third in total yards during the 2023 regular season.

The Lions offense was also very good below the surface in the analytical grading. Detroit finished in the top 10 of every single offensive metric graded by Pro Football Focus.

Detroit’s offensive rankings in the main offensive measuring sticks from PFF:

Total offense: 2nd

Passing: 5th

Pass blocking: t-8th

Receiving: 3rd

Running: 9th

Run blocking: 2nd

PFF grades are often taken with a wink or a grain of salt, but they do serve as a strong comparative tool on a more macro level. The overall grades for the teams (and also individual players) are an effective way of seeing how good–or bad–a group is relative to its peers across the league.
