We’ve seen the wheels come off of the Detroit Lions before. We all remember the season opener against the Jets in 2018 or the 2015 massacre at the hands of the Chiefs in London. But I’m not so sure I’ve seen such a full-blown failure from this team since the Matt Millen era.
On Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, the Lions looked completely inept in just about every single phase of the game. In a game they absolutely needed to have against an opponent that was very beatable, the Lions didn’t look like they belonged in the same league as the Panthers.
