I am not ordering my Super Bowl tickets just yet, but the Detroit Lions had a pretty impressive performance against Tampa Bay today.
It’s not he level of play that I am talking about. The Lions were outplayed on many levels by the Buccaneers, but they showed tremendous resiliency, an ability to capitalize on mistakes by their opponent and a knack of coming up with big plays at the right times.
Good teams find a way to win when they don’t play particularly well. That hasn’t happened with the Lions much in recent years.
