NFL analyst and BBC Sport columnist Phoebe Schecter The Lions have such an aggressive defensive front, the way they fly around the ball, and having Hutchinson back is a major factor in that. He's tied with Joey Bosa for the most forced fumbles (4) this season. He's also third in the league for quarterback pressures (39), and that's behind only Micah Parsons (44) and Nik Bonitto (40) - two of the best in the business. Hutchinson has helped to transform the Lions into play-off contenders over the past three seasons and they nearly reached the Super Bowl in his second season. He is the latest key player to sign an extension so Detroit look set to remain a force for years to come.
