They were absolutely hammered by the New England Patriots and lost 31-3 to kick off their 2019 season. While it was a down night for almost the entire roster, top to bottom, one player did manage to stand out.
Lions safety Miles Killebrew racked up six total tackles on Thursday, and put together his best performance in the Lions uniform in a very long time. While it did come against the Patriots’ reserve offense for the most part, it could be a sign of things to come for Killebrew.
Even head coach Matt Patricia came away impressed with Killebrew’s performance on Thursday night.
