Allen Park — Their record doesn’t match their mood, and it shouldn’t. The Lions are 0-0-1, but it looks and smells like 0-1.
It stinks and it stings, and they were still feeling the effects a day after blowing an 18-point fourth-quarter lead and settling for a 27-27 overtime tie with the Cardinals. The Lions committed several cardinal sins, including some of the worst.
They took their foot off the gas. Or perhaps they ran out of gas. Either one is unacceptable, and just like that, they jumped from the Arizona heat to the frying pan.
