Kyle Vanden Bosch Video: Watch Lions Veteran Defensive End Strip-Sack 49ers

The Detroit Lions have become one of the best offensive teams in the NFL, but it’s their defense that deserves much of the credit.

With Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley and veteran Kyle Vanden Bosch on the defensive line, the Detroit Lions have found the pressure that their team has lacked for a very long time.

For those fans skeptical about the drastic improvements, veteran Kyle Vanden Bosch would like to present Exhibit A.

Not only have people questioned the defensive line‘s stability, they have openly question veteran Vanden Bosch’s age and abilities.

Alex Smith of the San Francisco 49ers knows a bit about just how goof the old man can still be when he saw him stand up with the ball that was in his hands.

Vanden Bosch bull rushes the edge and gains it with his brute force.

With Alex Smith and his poor ball control leaving the ball loose behind him, Vanden Bosch rips the ball right out of his hand and takes the ball back for his team.

It was one of the best plays of the short 2011 NFL season and it’s the reason the Lions will be a serious contender this season.
