The Lions' rebuild momentum is gone after Sunday's blowout loss to the Patriots, a game in which Detroit was outplayed and outcoached.
Belichick was starting a rookie quarterback, a third-stringer two weeks ago making his first NFL start Sunday, and found a way to just dominate the Lions.Campbell, meanwhile, came into the game with the NFL’s highest scoring offense. So he decided to ground and pound, putting handcuffs on his offense.Because he was afraid of Matt Patricia’s offense?This shouldn't be acceptable. This team was outplayed and outcoached.This was a new level of embarrassment.
But it felt like he was messed up by the run-heavy game plan — 13 of the first 18 plays were runs — and never got into a rhythm.Maybe the run-heavy approach was because of injuries to their wide receivers.In essence, the Lions tried to shrink the game, limiting possessions, creating a slugfest.And then Goff forced a ball to T.J. Hockenson and threw an interception near the goal line, killing a drive.“They're just so sound,” Goff said.
