The Detroit Lions had higher hopes for the 2020 season but look like pretenders after 8 games.
In a season with more downs than ups, these 2020 Detroit Lions sure don’t look like a team poised to make a playoff run. After an embarrassing loss to the Minnesota Vikings where their defense looked like shredded cheese all day, one has to wonder how close management is to pulling the plug on this “Patriots-Midwest” experiment.
The Lions have now lost two games in a row in terrible fashion, hardly looking like they belonged on the same level as the Indianapolis Colts and the (at the time) two-win Minnesota Vikings.
