Lions fans hung 52 on Ben Johnson and still spent the night asking what happens when the pass rush no-shows.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
After C.Williams found R.Odunze for an early 28-yard score, this looked like more of the same — and then J.Goff went off-script, hitting A.St. Brown for 34 and 32, I.TeSlaa for 29, and burying Chicago before halftime. A 52-21 final against the team that hired away the old coordinator answered exactly one question very loudly. Whether it answers anything beyond Week 2 against a porous secondary is the part Detroit fans are still circling.
