After staying undefeated for the first three weeks of the season, the Detroit Lions have hit a rough patch. With losses in the last three games and few answers for why a team that seems so much better than last year isn’t playing that way yet, here are six tough questions that the team faces as the month of October is suddenly coming to a close.
Question 1: Is passing ‘the eye test’ enough evidence to suggest signs of progress?
Strictly from watching the games, the Lions ‘look’ like a better team than their record. There are plenty of talented players on both sides of the ball, the defense is forcing enough turnovers, the offense is taking care of the ball, and they’ve been competitive start to finish in every game.
