Shortly after the Detroit Lions walloped the Green Bay Packers in Week 4, I wrote that the first half of that Thursday night game was “as awesome of a half of Detroit Lions experience as I can ever recall.”
The Lions didn’t top that level of fun in Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers, but they sure tried. Detroit cruised to a 42-24 home win to keep the Panthers winless.
As in Green Bay, the Lions roared out to a big early lead in a dominating first half. Detroit led 28-10 at the half thanks to four touchdowns on five possessions.
