The way Monday Night Football opened for the Detroit Lions, this fan base might have thought it was about to be over just as quickly as it began. Don't get it twisted. The Lions won this game and won it handedly. But, it should have been by a much wider margin.
Detroit came out with an opening drive touchdown and their short-handed defense set the tone early on.
Yet, as the game went on, a contest that felt as if it should really be a three or four-score game was nowhere near the blowout it could have been.
