Late November is crunch time for the Lions. Somehow, there’s still a spark of hope that this season can get back on track, which is usually a recipe for doom-making things where Detroit is concerned. However, things could still break their way and the kool-aid will be back on the menu in time for Thanksgiving.
In the mean time, it’s a road trip to Charlotte. The Carolina Panthers are inching their way toward Teddy Bridgewater under center, but Christian McCaffrey won’t show up. For the Lions, their own offensive weapons are taking a beating, with no Kenny Golladay, no D’Andre Swift and no Danny Amendola.
