Another week, another tough loss for the Detroit Lions. Although, this loss had a different feel than the first five of the season. The Lions were never really in this fight, falling 34-11 in their Week 6 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
With that said, everything wasn’t completely awful. The Lions' young defense kept them in the game for at least one half, and the 2021 rookie class continues to get more playing time.
Let’s take a closer look at how they played against the Bengals.
