Well, that was a wild week of football for the Detroit Lions. Two really sloppy games in a span of five days. One miraculous comeback victory against the Chicago Bears in the final minutes of the game, and one pretty ugly loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving day leaves the Lions at 8-3 and atop the NFC North standings.
Part of me is leaning on the fact that this is the NFL, and any team can beat anyone on any given Sunday. With that said, there have been elements of the Lions’ play over the last two games that are pretty concerning—especially when you consider that they are currently jockeying for playoff seeding in the NFC.
