Misery Index · Despair
Lions fans losing by two scores to a team with three net passing yards and questioning every dollar Holmes never spent.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
J.Addison's 65-yard house call in the fourth was the dagger, but this one was rotting from the J.Goff fumble on the opening drive through the strip-sack by D.Turner that opened the fourth. One offensive touchdown — a 4-yard dump to I.TeSlaa — against a backup quarterback in M.Brosmer. The Holmes/Campbell era has had ugly nights, but few have felt this directionless this late in a season that was supposed to mean something.
