In front of 26.8 million viewers nationwide, the Detroit Lions proved once again that they can hang with the best, whether it’s at home or on the road. It wasn’t always pretty, but who cares? A win is a win, and it’s freaking hard to win on the road, no matter who you play.
To seal the win, the Lions’ defense stepped up in a huge way. Holding the defending Super Bowl champions to a mere 20 points is no easy feat, and they even scored seven points of their own thanks to rookie defensive back, Brian Branch—big shoutout to Kadarius Toney as well.
