Allen Park — Entering Week 9, the Detroit Lions rank ninth in points per game. That’s not bad. They’ve also gone scoreless in second halves over their last three games. That’s very bad.
On the heels of a third — and what the Lions hope is the last — instance of Detroit’s offense getting blanked in the second half, both offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and quarterback Jared Goff talked about the “self-inflicted” wounds that have been hurting the offense of late.
On Sunday against the Dolphins, Detroit put up 27 in the first half, before getting iced in the final two quarters.
