The Detroit Lions’ offense during Week 1's 27-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers was met with frustration and anxiety, and deservedly so. Last year’s historically high-powered offense looked as inept as it did during the first season of the Dan Campbell era, when the team stumbled its way to a 3-13-1 record.
The play calling from new offensive coordinator John Morton, in particular, has drawn the ire of fans and analysts. On Sunday, the Lions failed to score at least 20 points for the first time in almost a year, falling 20-16 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and dropping to 1-1 on the young 2024 season.
