A lot of people seemed to forget that the Detroit Lions went 15-2 last season when they began the current campaign with a two-touchdown setback against the Green Bay Packers.
It was just one measly loss but the ensuing panic made it feel like the Lions had reverted back to their form under past head coaches like Matt Patricia, Rod Marinelli, or Marty Mornhinweg.
But this is the Dan Campbell era , and that 27-7 regular-season record over the previous two seasons isn’t phony. It’s very real.
The Lions got back to proving it during Monday night’s 38-30 primetime win at Baltimore.
The Lions (2-1) showed off their Super Bowl-type offense in the victory by racking up 224 rushing yards and 202 through the air against the Ravens. Detroit even put together touchdown drives of 98 and 96 yards.
