The Detroit Lions won a game that feels a bit too familiar. After jumping out to a 24-3 lead, even some of the most cynical Lions fans were feeling pretty comfortable against a bad Washington Football Team. Then the offense froze up and the all-too-familiar leaky defense allowed Alex Smith to drag his team right back into the game.
Thankfully, a last-second comeback changed the narrative in Detroit’s favor, as they squeaked by with a 30-27 win.
While the game played out in familiar fashion, the offense deserves real recognition for a mostly solid game against a good defense.
