Of all the ways to lose a game, that had to be among the roughest.
Sure, it wasn’t a Super Bowl collapse, but for a team seemingly on the rise, Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings was a gut punch. The Detroit Lions had ample opportunities to close out the game, but things fell apart when the game was truly on the line. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, as you could put it.
With the loss, the Lions sit at 1-2, and while the season is far from over, it certainly feels like this team could and should be better than they have.
