Before we evaluate what went wrong with the Detroit Lions Sunday Afternoon, let’s commend what went right. Despite the glory that the offense has been receiving, it’s actually the defense that has showed itself as a strength for the One Pride regime.
The Lions defense held the Titans to just 3 points for 45 minutes of action. They also, assured the T.O.P statistic against arguably the best rushing tandem in the NFL. With no attempt to be remedial or scornful the Lions offense is and will be required to match the intensity of the defense and not just of the stat sheet or highlight reel.
