Kraft exploits deep safety coverage; Lions face strategic dilemma defending both deep and underneath threats.

Packers tight end Tucker Kraft is positioned as a key underneath threat if the Lions commit safeties deep to defend the Packers' deep-ball attack. Lions coach Dan Campbell emphasized that Detroit cannot simply play safeties deep to eliminate deep shots because that's when Kraft takes over underneath.
