Stick around here as we provide live updates and highlights from the Detroit Lions’ Week 11 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
The Lions won the toss and chose to defer, meaning their defense would take the field first. That went just about as well as it has all year. Though Detroit’s run defense forced an early third down, the Lions’ secondary—with Mike Ford starting on the outside—proved to be this team’s biggest weakness. On the very first drive, Cam Newton went 5-of-6 for 80 yard and at touchdown. 7-0 Panthers.
For the first time in a few weeks, the Detroit Lions will bring their team home, in yet another effort to keep their 2018 season alive.
