After leading by a score of 24-6 going into the fourth quarter against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, the Detroit Lions did a very Detroit Lions thing. At least according to what appears to be the majority of national media pundits.
The Lions lost their lead in the fourth quarter, allowing the lowly Cardinals to tie the game and force overtime. The contest ultimately ended in a 27-27 tie. But due to their collapse, the regular season opener felt more like a colossal defeat for Detroit. And the perception that the Lions are perpetual losers and their own worst enemies continues.
