SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- If the Detroit Lions are without Darius Slay for next week's prime-time showdown with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, Teez Tabor is expected to get the start.
If his first start is any indication, that could be a problem.
Tabor was inserted into the starting lineup over Nevin Lawson on Sunday, but was benched after committed crucial mistakes that led to two scores on San Francisco's first three drives in the 30-27 loss.
Not exactly the kind of stuff that inspires confidence heading into a matchup with the GOAT, especially with Slay now sidelined by a concussion.
