The Detroit Lions pulled off a big 20-19 upset over the Carolina Panthers Sunday afternoon. Here are four things we learned from the game.
Kenny Golladay is an elite receiver
When the Lions traded away Golden Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles, they knew it was a gamble. You’re jettisoning one of your best receivers, an established YAC King, for a draft pick that may-or-may-not result in a serviceable NFL player. Your depth is diminished, but at least you still have Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay.
Then Marvin Jones suffered a knee injury last week and was out for the game versus the Carolina Panthers.
