For those fans of the Detroit Lions who have shifted their support to improved draft position, Sunday was a good day. Still, it continues to come at the cost of one of the franchise’s worst seasons in recent memory.
The Lions gave up five straight scoring drives to the Denver Broncos at one point, resulting in a 27-17 loss at Empower Field at Mile High Sunday. Dropping to 3-11-1, the Lions have lost 11 of their last 12 games, and have just one victory after the month of September.
The Lions finish the season with just a single road win, coming in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
