Three straight games, three straight losses, three straight listless showings for the Detroit Lions. They’ve had the lead for a grand total of three minutes during this time. Is it really a stretch to question whether the Detroit Lions are even worth tuning into at the moment?
I put that concept to the test for the Bears game. A broken-beyond-repair screen on my old iPhone gave me just the excuse I was looking for. In a venture that was equal parts “I need a new phone immediately” and “I really don’t mind spending this particular Sunday afternoon doing something else entirely”, I passed on the game and walked around downtown Boston instead.
