Sunday’s win over the New England Patriots was shocking in so many ways. Overall, the Detroit Lions looked like a completely different teams from the previous weeks. Several fans, myself very much included, had counted the Lions out not only for this game but for much of the season, seeing as they didn’t look competent throughout the preseason and the first two weeks of the season.
But against the Patriots—the freakin’ Patriots—the Lions managed to quickly put it all together and not only look competent, but capable of dominating an opponent. While a very small portion of fans can brag they saw this coming—looking at you, Hamza—no one saw it happening like this.
