It’s almost a Week 3 tradition for the Detroit Lions.
Somehow, over their first two games every season, they wind up doing something that sends us to the history books and delivers a lead-in such as, “For the first time since the Lions played at Tiger Stadium … “
Of course, seeing as how their 1-1 start is just their second .500-or-better record entering Week 3 in the past five seasons, it’s usually a negative.
But not this season. Instead, we can report that, for the first time since the AFL/NFL merger in 1970, the Lions have scored at least 35 points in each of their first two games.
