After a failed come-from-behind attempt on Sunday, one big story is finally seeing what would happen with the Detroit Lions passing game. Ladies and gentlemen: welcome to the Motor City dink and dunk offense.
Well into the fourth quarter against the San Francisco 49ers, zero Lions wide receivers had a reception of more than 10 yards past the line of scrimmage. Then, being down by 24 points, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff finally started to throw the ball down the field and take deep shots against the 49ers.
