Allen Park — It was a start to the season to forget.
In the season-opening tie against the Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker delivered the worst performance of his career, allowing seven quarterback pressures, two sacks and committing four penalties.
The next week, Decker popped up on the injury report with a back issue, which sidelined him the Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
On social media and talk radio, the overreaction came swiftly, largely in the form of a surging suggestion the Lions pursue a trade for disgruntled Washington holdout Trent Williams.
