MINNEAPOLIS -- It looked like so many of the Detroit Lions' other losses this season: They believe they have a good week of practice, then they come out on Sunday and it doesn’t go nearly as planned.
A blowout against the New York Jets in the season opener. Three quarters of poor play a week later against the San Francisco 49ers. Then more of the same two Sundays ago while facing the Seattle Seahawks and again on Sunday versus the Minnesota Vikings.
Consistency, or lack thereof, has been the theme of the Lions' season.
