The Detroit Lions lost yet another tough game in which they appeared to be punching up above their weight class. On one hand, it really does appear the Lions are making actual progress and improving in critical areas. On the other hand, it’s hard to feel great about Moral Victory No. 4. At some point, the Lions need to make that one extra play to secure a victory or it’s all for not.
That being said, there were clear improvements almost across the board on Sunday, and if the Lions can carry most of that over to next week against a much inferior opponent, maybe they can get off the schneid.
