Two weeks into the Lions season, are we 2-for-2 on “must-win games”?
At the risk of delving into self-parody, the 27-27 opening-game tie at Arizona means two things: First, it puts more pressure on Detroit to get wins in the brutal five-game, which begins Sunday and continues with Philadelphia, Kansas City, Green Bay and Minnesota.
But also, a tie isn’t a loss. Emotions and pent-up Lionsy angst aside, a road tie isn’t going to be the reason this Lions season goes one way or another.
The season isn’t over.
