The Detroit Lions need a win. Any kind of win will do, but if they expect to beat Minnesota, which is certainly a winnable game, then some things will need to change.
Three weeks ago the Lions offense ran on almost all cylinders and they looked unstoppable against Kansas City’s defense. Matthew Stafford made big plays through the air and Kerryon Johnson ran relays through the Chiefs’ efforts to bottle him up.
That was the game Lions fans had been looking for. It was the game that was announcing their emergence as a balanced offense that could run or pass their way to victory.
