Heading into the 2018 season, Detroit Lions fans would have probably said losing to the Chicago Bears would be close to rock bottom. Even though the Bears have exceeded expectations—especially expectations in Detroit—it’s never fun to lose to a rival, especially if it’s the team’s third loss in a row.
Of course, it’s not just that the Lions are losing, but how they’re losing. Detroit fell behind by three possessions for the third straight game on SUnday, and they haven’t looked like a team capable of competing since early October. As a result, fan confidence in the direction of the team has plummeted to a single-digit percentage.
