The Detroit Lions came out with a sense of desperation on Sunday, and absolutely took it to a young Jacksonville Jaguars. The Lions barely looked recognizable from the team we saw go 1-3 into the bye week. And while many are rightfully skeptical of one great performance against a one-win team, I have to say it was a bit relieving to finally see the team perform a fairly clean overall game for once.
In the Matt Patricia era, we’ve only seen the Lions win one game by three scores—a meaningless Week 17 game against a Packers team that had already reserved tee times for the offseason.
