DETROIT -- Devon Kennard stood in front of his locker, both somber and defiant. Another week gone, and the Detroit Lions linebacker had to answer the same questions about the defense he captains that has stopped next to no one this season.
As he began, he let out a deep breath. “Yeah,” he said. “Pretty frustrating.”
The Lions had just given up 20 or more points for the eighth straight week and 450 or more yards for the third time in five games. They wasted another offensive performance -- 27 points with a backup quarterback and practice-squad running back -- that should have been enough for a win.
