It’s not the first shining moment for Dixon, who helped the Lions open the season with a pair of sacks against Purdue in Week 1. Continuing his stellar performance in Week 2, Dixon recorded a sack for his second consecutive game.
Last season was Dixon’s debut, and he certjainly made the most of it. Dixon made 10 tackles (8 solo) with two pass breakups and a half tackle for loss during the 2021 season.
With the interception, it appears that Dixon is ready to continue his dominating performance for the Lions this season.
