Detroit – It's ugly and getting uglier. The Lions came home hoping to find their offense, hoping to stem their slide. Instead, all their ills and spills were on graphic display, and suddenly this is a team flirting with disaster.
If there was a mistake to be made or a flaw to be exposed, the Lions obliged in a 24-12 loss to the Broncos Sunday night. They were in it until midway through the fourth quarter, when the next three series ended like this: Matthew Stafford fumble, inexplicable special-teams mistake, Stafford interception.
The Broncos have a terrific defense, but the Lions unleashed a staggering series of gaffes, and by the end, the Ford Field crowd was booing.
