Through most of the second half on Sunday, my mind was busy calculating how many points the Los Angeles Chargers were about to have, and what it would take for the Detroit Lions to get back in the game. As the third quarter crawled into the fourth and Los Angeles was still improbably stuck on 10 points, I again and again had to reset the comeback scenarios in my head.
It wasn’t pretty, but after hanging on by a thread for most of the afternoon,you can hardly blame the Lions for hanging around long enough to capitalize on their opponents’ blunders.
