The Detroit Lions are looking shakier than they have all season. At least that’s how fans are reacting on social media.
The Lions lost 16-9 to the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 16, with a defense that looked elite and an offense that couldn’t move the ball at all on most drives.
A big storyline coming out of the game was coach Dan Campbell, calling plays on offense for his second game this season, going for controversial fourth-down attempts instead of punting or kicking field goals for needed points. The Lions went 0-for-5 on those fourth down attempts, the most backbreaking failure coming on the Eagles 3-yard line in the second half.
Here’s how Lions experts and fans reacted to the team’s performance on social media.
