The Detroit Lions coughed up a large early lead as the Saints scored 35 straight points to down the Pride

In a game that almost wasn’t played, the Detroit Lions’ defense made sure to pick up on their old habits. Their inability to slow down a shorthanded opponent may have left them with another lost season.

The Lions blew another double-digit lead, their third this year, surrendering touchdowns on five consecutive possessions in a 35-19 home loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
