The Detroit Lions’ long-ball offense is dead

Throw a rock into the cauldron of 2018 NFL takes and you’ll hit 30 different opinions talking about THE FUTURE OF THE NFL and how dynamic passing attacks are taking over the league and head coaches like Sean McVay and Matt Nagy hold the key to success in their hands.

Although I think all of these macro proclamations are premature—strategy moves fast and teams adjust—it’s hard not to get hypnotized by 54-51 final scores and statlines that include nearly 500 yards of passing and six touchdowns.

Heading into 2018, it felt like the Detroit Lions may join this new era of explosive offenses.
