The Detroit Lions offense was one of the best in the league last year, but they’re off to a slow start in 2024, and this time it cost them a chance at victory. After putting up 20 points in regulation last week, Detroit managed just 16 this week, despite SEVEN trips into the red zone.
In the end, the Lions lost to the Buccaneers 20-16 and fell to 1-1 to start the season. Here’s how it happened.
First quarter
The Lions won the toss and deferred, just like last week against the Rams. Baker Mayfield quickly got to midfield with a 18-yard strike to Chris Godwin.
