The Detroit Lions suffered their first loss of the season in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. While a loss is still a loss, it proved something that many had thought over the previous two weeks, the Lions can hang with the NFL’s best.
In Week’s 2 and 3 the Lions eked out victories against both the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles—two teams that many had as playoff teams in 2019. While they did lose in Week 4, they forced Patrick Mahomes into the worst game of his career and were inches away from victory.
