There’s an old saying from the Batman movies that felt especially relevant Thursday night: “you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” That was the case with Tom Savage as well as the entirety of the Lions offense Thursday night.
While the offense was able to move the ball early in the game, things took a quick turn when Savage was sacked and then topped with a Patriots defensive lineman and Lions offensive lineman, sending him to the locker room and ending his night.
