Allen Park — It wouldn’t be unlike these Detroit Lions to defy expectations.
No one expected Detroit to beat New England after starting the year 0-2, but they did. And while, in hindsight, the victory over Green Bay doesn’t look as impressive than it once did, few were picking the Lions before that game kicked off. Even two weeks ago, when the Lions appeared to be in a full freefall, losing three straight be double digits, the team pulled together to top a 6-3 Panthers team.
So why is this week any different?
