Second-year defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus earned the second-highest grade in Friday's opener with an impressive 92.2. Wide receiver Chris Blair was the highest-graded offensive player (91.3 overall), while linebacker Josh Woods was the fourth player with an elite PFF grade (91.4).

The grades from Pro Football Focus are in after the Lions ’ 17-10 preseason win over the Atlanta Falcons. The game was suspended following the scary injury to safety Morice Norris, though we have gotten a positive update on his status, which was great to see.

Our Lions vs. Falcons predictions expect a better performance from Hendon Hooker in his second preseason contest this Friday, August 8, 2025.
