Free Press sports writer Carlos Monarrez answers three questions after the Detroit Lions' 42-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Lambeau Field:
Is Lions’ meltdown on the players or the coaching?
Where do you start? How and why did this Lions implosion that started late in the first half happen? It was one of the Lions’ worst short stretches of football in recent memory. In an 80-second span, the Lions committed three costly penalties and gave up 14 points. A holding call on backup left guard Oday Aboushi stopped the clock with 1:08 left in the second quarter to give the Packers too much time for a final drive, and safety Will Harris’ consecutive personal fouls made that drive even easier.
