In the Detroit Lions’ top-notch defensive showing on Sunday, Will Harris became a symbol for a unit that battles every week.

On his 75th birthday, let’s take a look at the career of former Lions quarterback Greg Landry. A glance at the Detroit Lions‘ all-time passing leaders shows Greg Landry fairly prominently in many categories. Over 11 seasons in Detroit (1968-1978), he started 84 games (40-41-3 record) and appeared in 102 contests. Today, Saturday Dec. 18, 2021,
