There are a few ways to look at Detroit's offensive performance in its 38-35 Week 1 loss to the Eagles.
Option A: The Lions scored five touchdown drives of more than 70 yards, the only team in the NFL to do so. It's early proof of concept that the offense does have the balance and big-play ability it's boasted since the offseason.
Option B: The Lions needed to drive more than 70 yards each time to score the ball. Only once out of 10 drives did they start on the plus side of the 30, which came after the Eagles' first drive when Detroit forced a turnover on downs and took over on its own 41.
