HOUSTON – They have a saying in Allen Park, get to the ball with bad intentions, and in Saturday’s preseason loss to the Houston Texans, the Detroit Lions did that for one of the first times in Matt Patricia’s tenure.
The Lions turned in another mostly uninspiring performance Saturday.
They couldn’t muster any points against the Texans’ first-team defense, couldn’t stop the Texans’ first-team offense, and couldn’t get out of their own way with 11 penalties.
