DETROIT — They’ve waited generations around here for a team like this — rich with talent, armed with creativity and boasting a blistering offense. For the first time ever you could say “Detroit” and “Super Bowl” in the same sentence and not elicit laughter.
And that was before an 11-game winning streak got them to 12-1 on the season heading into Sunday.
Except here in Week 15, in a 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the familiar, if haunting, sight of the Lions injury cart kept making appearance after appearance to haul away defensive players.
