Lions

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

Thirteen-point win in Cincinnati, and the fanbase walked away grumbling about refball, pass protection, and a secondary that needed A.Robertson's pick of J.Chase just to stop the bleeding. S.LaPorta did S.LaPorta things — including the short-left touchdown — and A.Anzalone's interception of J.Browning sealed it, but the J.Goff strip-sack by T.Hendrickson lingers as a reminder that the protection issues aren't going away. Winning ugly still counts. Barely feels like it.
