Any experienced NFL veteran will tell you that the season is a marathon, not a sprint. Some coaches like to break down the season into “mini-seasons” or “phases”. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick will tell you that the real season begins in December. You get the picture. The NFL season is a long one.
Every team in the league is going to experience bumps and bruises along the way. And the Detroit Lions are no different, but with as fast-paced as the regular season is, there isn’t really time to dwell on the highs or lows.
