The Detroit Lions have been tough to watch as of late. The offense that once turned heads across the league and had many analysts gleefully enjoying Lions games has all but disappeared completely. And even though the Lions defense has improved in recent games, it still remains one of the worst units in the league. The Lions are just bad right now, and it’s not a lot of fun.
I’d love to say that the virtual Lions—via our weekly Madden simulations—are any better, but they really aren’t. They are, however, more entertaining. Because when the computer takes the sticks into their metaphorical hands, crazy stuff happens.
