After the Detroit Lions jumped out to a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter, I don’t think there was a single fan in Detroit that thought the game was over. For the past three years, fans have been conditioned to believe no early-game lead—no matter how big—was safe. In 2020 alone, the Lions have held a two-score lead in three of their previous four games. All three of those games turned out to be losses. It had gotten so bad that you have to wonder if the players were starting to get conditioned to it, as well.
