The Detroit Lions endured a very uninspiring start to the 2025 season, dropping a Week 1 road game to the Green Bay Packers 27-13.
In the wake of Detroit's loss, the blame game has begun. Both new coordinators in John Morton and Kelvin Sheppard are drawing criticism from fans. Lost in the hyperbole of that, though, remains the fact that players always get the final say in between the lines.
Offensively, it wasn't a great game from the Lions, who put up only 246 total yards. They rushed for just 46 yards, which was a rough total given how Detroit has dominated games up front the last few seasons and how their mentality involves grinding teams down.
