The Detroit Lions loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday was a game-changer for this season. The end of quarterback Matthew Stafford’s 136-game start streak is just the beginning of the end for the 2019 season.
With Stafford at the helm, it was acceptable to work towards some more wins this season. At their very best (and only with Stafford under center), the Detroit Lions might have been able to eke out five wins in the second half of the season.
If the Lions had done things right in the past draft, that start against the Bears would have gone to rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who Detroit passed on for tight end T.
