GLENDALE, Ariz. – When does a tie feel like a loss? When you’re the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon, watching a double-digit lead over the Arizona Cardinals crater away and having to settle with knowing you didn’t win a game you should have.
Make no mistake about this one, it might not be that in the record, but it feels like more of a loss than when the team actually lost when they were annihilated by the New York Jets at Ford Field to open up last season. At least then, it was clear Detroit wasn’t prepared well enough and weren’t ready to play.
