On Sunday, the Detroit Lions made a valiant comeback but came up just short as they fell to the San Francisco 49ers 30-27 to drop to 0-2 on the season.
Luckily, things should be much easier in Week 3 as the Lions welcome Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to Ford Field.
SETTLE DOWN! I AM JUST KIDDING!
Talk about bad luck. Not only do the Lions have to face the Patriots in Week 3, they have to face a pissed off Patriots team that is coming off of a 31-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Anyways, the Westgate Superbook in Las Vegas has released the point spread for many of the Week 3 games and the Patriots opened as a 7-point favorite over the Lions. Surprisingly, that line has since dropped to 6.5 in favor of New England.
What do you think, Nation? Can the Lions right the ship and shock the world by taking down the Patriots?

On Sunday, the Detroit Lions looked like absolute garbage for over three quarters in their 30-27 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. In fact, with 10:32 left in the contest, the Lions trailed 30-13 and it looked like a certainty that they would be blown out for a second-straight week.
But that is when the play happened that just may turn around the season for the Motor City Kitties. (Ok, maybe not, but stick with me for a moment). On 2nd and 10 at the Lions 30-yard line, Matthew Stafford dropped back to pass but felt pressure and had to take off running. As Stafford approached the first down marker, he was shoved out of bounds by 49ers defensive back Elijah Lee.

Though it was probably a fair hit by Lee (Stafford certainly was not giving himself up), Lions running back LeGarrette Blount had his own opinion and came to his quarterback’s defense.
Watch as Blount two-hand shoves Lee to the ground and then stares him down.
