I’ve had a couple of days to digest what happened on Monday night and here are my (hopefully less angry) thoughts as the Detroit Lions let one get away. But, they also got jobbed by a few late calls that directly impacted the game against the Green Bay Packers.
First, Detroit should have capitalized on their opportunities in the red zone. If Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson holds onto the ball and the team comes away with six points instead of settling for three. There are other plays that they could have made to put more points on the board, for sure.
