What happened to the Lions’ offense?
Give the Lions credit for doing enough to pull out the win. But for an offense that scored 27 points last week, it felt like a step back. The offense struggled to sustain drives, with the exception of a 75-yard march that culminated in Kerryon Johnson’s short catch and run for a 36-yard score and a 69-yard march that culminated in Kenny Golladay’s 31-yard catch.
