“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” is how Dickens began the tale. Dickens is describing the current NFL season for Jacksonville and Detroit. The Detroit Lions are in first place in the NFC North and the Jacksonville Jaguars are 2-7.
“it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness…” is how Dickens’ tale unfolds. Detroit is in position to make the playoffs. The Jaguars have squandered the season away due to poor performances.
“it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…” Dickens writes futuristically.
