The Detroit Lions have been a source of worry for their fans since the start of Season 12 of the Podcast Débrief. After a Thanksgiving Day game against the Chicago Bears, the Lions have been struggling to find their footing and secure a playoff spot.
The Lions have had a difficult season, with a 5-7 record and a lack of consistency on both sides of the ball. The offense has been plagued by turnovers and penalties, while the defense has given up too many big plays. The team has also been hampered by injuries, with quarterback Matthew Stafford missing several games due to a back injury.
The Lions have been particularly vulnerable in the fourth quarter, where they have been outscored by their opponents in every game this season. This was especially evident in the Thanksgiving Day game against the Bears, where the Lions were outscored 14-3 in the fourth quarter. This has been a major source of worry for the team, as it has been unable to close out games and secure victories.
The team’s lack of consistency has also been a source of concern. The Lions have been unable to string together consecutive wins, and have been unable to put together a winning streak. This has been especially problematic in the second half of the season, as the team has gone 1-4 in its last five games.
The Lions’ struggles have been compounded by their schedule, which has been one of the toughest in the league. The team has faced some of the best teams in the NFL, including the New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, and Green Bay Packers. The team will also face the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears in the final two weeks of the season.
The Lions’ playoff hopes are still alive, but they will need to turn things around quickly if they want to make it to the postseason. The team will need to find a way to close out games and put together a winning streak if they want to make it into the playoffs. If they can do that, then they may be able to salvage their season and make a run at the playoffs.
