The Detroit Lions can pretty much kiss their 2019 playoff hopes good-bye, as they now trail the second place Minnesota Vikings by 4.5 games while managing to lose six of their past seven games.
The most depressing thing about all these losses is that the Lions have managed to hold a lead in every one of their 10 games. This is typically a trend for successful season, as Andrew Siciliano pointed out on Twitter earlier this week: Only three NFL teams have had a lead in every game this year. They are the 8-0 San Francisco 49ers, the 6-4 Kansas City Chiefs, and the 3-5-1 Lions.
