It’s been 13 months since the Lions last had back-to-back victories.
That's thirteen months.
That mini-streak came with a pair of three-point wins, over the Chargers and Eagles, in weeks 2 and 3 last season. The Lions followed with three straight losses, so there’s not much evidence that momentum carries from one win.
Following Sunday’s victory over the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars, the Lions are looking to string together another one next week, against the Falcons, who got their first victory of the season after handling the Vikings easily.
“We certainly try to make sure that we put an emphasis on building from one week to the next,” coach Matt Patricia said Monday.
