Christian Izien stepped up significantly in the absence of All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. His performance included a late interception that thwarted potential points for the Lions and strong coverage and run support throughout the game. Izien demonstrated his ability to adapt, looking comfortable in the safety position, and he made a pivotal game-saving tackle alongside Jordan Whitehead on fourth down with the Lions in the red zone. He finished the game with nine tackles, two pass breakups, and an interception, solidifying his place in the defensive rotation.
