What happened: The Lions have put themselves in a serious hole to start the 2015 season after falling to Denver, 24-12, in their home opener Sunday night.
The loss drops the Lions to 0-3 to start the year and they’re now in serious jeopardy with a Monday night showdown in Seattle looming next week.
Denver jumped out to an early lead and took advantage of Lions mistakes late to improve their record to 3-0 on the season.
The Lions will now be looking just to get in the win column, then worry about becoming only the fourth team since 1990 to start 0-3 and still make the playoffs.
