ALLEN PARK, Mich. — All anybody wants to talk about these days is how the Detroit Lions allowed a record-breaking rushing performance by the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday.
And with good reason — it was by far the ugliest portion of the Lions’ crushing Christmas Eve loss.
But what’s equally concerning — maybe more so, given how the trend has carried over a handful of months — is the Lions’ inability to get their own ground attack going. Detroit has averaged just 3.7 yards per carry over its last eight games, hitting rock bottom with a mark of 2.6 in the loss to Carolina.
