After an infuriating loss to the Packers on Monday night, the Lions had no time to stew with a good Vikings coming to town for a "must-win" game. Justin Rogers, The Detroit News
When strong arguments could be made that your team should be 5-0 or 0-5, it’s probably a bizarre season.
So, all bad calls and solid losses considered, along with gifted missed field goals and opponents’ injuries, somehow finding a way to be exactly .500 after five games sounds about right.
The Lions have the look of a team playing slightly better than their record, with that record still slightly outpacing our expectations.
