The last time the Detroit Lions looked this good on a big stage, Barry Sanders might have been in the backfield. Or maybe it was back when television sets were in black and white.
Lions fans might not know what to do with themselves after Thursday night. After a 34-20 win over the Green Bay Packers that was dominant other than a lull in the third quarter that allowed the Packers briefly back in the game, the Lions look like the clear favorite to win the NFC North. They haven't won a division title since 1993.
There were a surprising amount of Lions fans at Lambeau Field on Thursday night. In the final minutes, chants of"Let's go Lions" were audible on the broadcast. Lions fans haven't felt this good in a long time.It might be blasphemy to say it about any other franchise after just four games, but Lions fans probably won't argue much: This looks like Detroit's best team since 1957.
Led by second-year standout Aidan Hutchinson, an absolute gift of a draft pick for the Lions after the Jacksonville Jaguars stunningly passed on him first overall, Detroit's defense swarmed Love. Green Bay's offensive line has injuries, and the Lions took advantage. The Packers had just one yard a couple minutes into the second quarter. They didn't get their first first down of the game until 7:41 was left in the second quarter. It came on a defensive penalty.
