In 2019, the Detroit Lions opened their season against the Arizona Cardinals and rookie quarterback Kyler Murray. The Lions roared out to an early lead and held the day until late in the fourth quarter, when Murray led the charge back to erase a 18-point deficit. After a languid overtime, the game ended in a tie.
If that all sounds familiar, it’s because the Lions have failed to hold leads in both of their games in the 2020 NFL season. Meanwhile, Kyler Murray has started the season hot, racking over 500 yards through the air and 120 on the ground, as Arizona have taken wins against Washington and San Francisco.
