It’s mid-November, 11 days until Thanksgiving, and the Detroit Lions are hopeless once again.
If that wasn’t clear before Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, it sure was during it, when the Cowboys rolled up 509 yards of offense and their fans staged an embarrassing takeover of Ford Field.
With chants of “Let’s Go Cowboys,” “de-fense” when Dallas needed a big third-down stop, and “Cooop” every time Amari Cooper caught a pass, filling the stadium, the Cowboys all but extinguished the Lions’ faint playoff hopes with a 35-27 victory.
