Detroit Lions Go From Roar to Meow, Falling 29-0 to New England
Well, that wasn’t a game worth watching. The Detroit Lions were on the road Sunday (Oct. 9), going up against the New England Patriots.
The Patriots were favored, but considering that the Patriots don’t even have their regular quarterback, Lions fans were hoping to see a competitive game, at the very least.
It was a deflating game for the Lions, who have shown some promise in their offense this season. View photos from the game below.
