Misery Index · Despair

Lions fans burying the season under Campbell's fourth-down math, Goff's sacks, and a refs-and-DK-Metcalf conspiracy.

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

J.Goff carved Pittsburgh up late — the K.Raymond 27-yard touchdown, the A.St. Brown 24-yard dagger to the 12, the I.TeSlaa grab to the 1 — and Detroit still found a way to lose by five. C.Boswell's missed 37-yarder was a gift the Lions couldn't convert, and the A.Rodgers-to-K.Gainwell 45-yard score in the second quarter looms larger every replay. The offense kept its end; the question is what the rest of this roster is actually for.
