Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson said last week’s first-half performance by his offense in Houston was the poorest he’s seen in two and a half years. Both he and his players on that side of the ball vowed they’d be better this week, and boy were they.
The Lions scored touchdowns on all four of their first-half possessions Sunday, the defense continued their stellar play, and that combination led to a big early lead as Detroit coasted to a 52-6 win.
