The Detroit Lions 31-23 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday was a wire-to-wire crushing of their division rival. This was essentially a double-digit victory, as a last second field goal did nothing to truly threaten Detroit’s win.
After all of the decades of failure, it is easy to dismiss the Detroit Lions win as luck.
And, of course, to bestow the Packers with a myriad of excuses, including their kicker Mason Crosby missing five kicks in the game.
This type of argument is usually applied to the Detroit Lions after a loss.
