In Detroit’s second bad loss of the season, they were held under 200 Passing Yards for the game. With 3 Turnovers and the offensive line surrendering 4 sacks. The Lions were dealt yet another bad loss. We have been very supportive in their wins, so now we must be critical in their losses.
After falling to the Bears 28-13 Sunday, it’s time to be critical. Losing in such a way, with such poor offense. This was in fact a bad loss for the team. The Lions hadn’t loss this badly, since the Ravens 38-6 thrashing of Detroit in October. Despite the win Detroit has a 9-4 record. Detroit still sits at the top of the NFC North division with a 9-4 record. But some concerns are warranted after a bad loss like this. With poor offensive execution and turnovers Jared Goff played about as bad as possible.

A Bad Loss For Detroit
Goff threw 2 interceptions with only 1 touchdown and under 170 passing yards for the day. Amon-Ra St. Brown dropped passes, Goff made silly mistakes and the offensive line got man handled. Even Sam Laporta was silent in the bad loss. Everything that could go wrong with the offense, went wrong.
All the being said, the offensive wasn’t the only problem. While the Lions offense gave up the ball 3 times and put their defense in a tough spot. The defense still needs to improve.
Poor Defense Partially To Blame
The Lions defense got exposed again against the Bears. Their secondary was not equipped to deal with the Bears wide receiving group. While they didn’t get dominated much more than usual yardage wise. The team only forced 3 punts all game. This is unacceptable and lead to a bad loss like this one.
The Lions look to bounce back and improve their record to 10-4 on the season. This Saturday, December 16th, the Lions take on the red-hot Denver Broncos at 8:15 at Ford Field. The Lions need a great game from their defense to reestablish themselves as a good football team.
Are the Detroit Lions Overrated?
