Lions defense stifles Dolphins in 19-9 victory

Published November 8, 2026 3:49 PM EST

Just a week after losing team captain Jack Campbell off the defense, and with him still hospitalized, the team was playing for Jack on the road trip to Miami. 

The defense stepped up and allowed just three field goals on the way to a 19-9 Lions victory, their fourth straight.

The Detroit offense struggled, but still put up decent numbers against the 1-6 Dolphins.
