Patriots' Davon Godchaux calls this early-game Lions decision 'very insulting'

The Detroit Lions came into Sunday's Week 5 game against the New England Patriots with an aggressive approach on offense.

It backfired in spectacular fashion during a 29-0 loss at Gillette Stadium.

The Lions got the ball first and picked up one first down before being stopped on third down at their own 45-yard line. Instead of punting and potentially pinning the Patriots inside the 20-yard line, Lions head coach Dan Campbell decided to go for it on fourth down.

Lions running back Jamaal Williams was stuffed on a run up the middle by Patriots defensive linemen Davon Godchaux and Christian Barmore, giving the Patriots offense the ball with great field position.
