Honestly I never thought Detroit had ranked that good on defense. I also don't think Stafford has had a running back get close to 1000 in a season maybe not even a tandem. They have been missing a lot in Detroit for a while... part of the reason my wife needs to jump ship to the Bills vessel.
If Watson had Nuk this year it may have added or taken away from his production. I would like to think it would've added since he is top 5 at his position. It could've taken away if Hopkins demands targets to the point it hurts the offense.. They also have a defense that isn't good enough and I can't speak on their running game but all phases matter to each other towards winning. Off year for the team and on year for the QB. Both have to align.
