No one gave the Detroit Lions much of a chance against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Lions had one win, a bunch of players still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and were only motivated to play spoiler. The Cardinals, on the other hand, were in the midst of a tight NFC West battle, coming off a tough divisional race, and were undefeated on the road this year.
But from the very beginning of the game, the Lions absolutely took it to the Cardinals. Detroit’s offense ran the ball efficiently, as Craig Reynolds eclipsed 100 yards.
