Misery Index · Despair
Lions fans blaming Branch, the refs, Collinsworth, and Goodell in roughly that order before giving up.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
J.Goff to J.Williams briefly made it interesting, and A.Hutchinson stripping P.Mahomes felt like a turning point until Mahomes recovered his own fumble — which more or less summarizes the night. The X.Worthy touchdown set the tone early, and a 13-point loss in Kansas City somehow still has the fanbase more fixated on B.Branch's discipline than the scoreboard. The real worry: this roster looked a tier below, and the noise around officiating won't change that.
