ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions came out Monday night and delivered the kind of performance they had to have off a three-game losing streak. They traveled to Lambeau Field, a place they've won once in decades, and crushed the Green Bay Packers 30-17 in front of the nation on Monday Night Football.
Conventional wisdom would suggest that the outside view of the Lions skyrocketed from wherever it was before that game, back when they hadn't won a game in a month and the pass rush couldn't get home and they were struggling to find the end zone.
