It was only about a month ago that the Detroit Lions toiled in a familiar obscurity at 1-6. Their talented offense, led by Jared Goff, seemed irreparably broken, ill-prepared for an entire season. Defensively, they probably couldn’t stop an actual nosebleed, as even squads like the offensively-challenged New England Patriots quite literally ran them off the field.
My, my, how fast a team’s outlook can shift on a dime in the NFL.
