Despite the 30-17 loss, there were several bright spots in the Detroit Lions’ primetime matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs that deserve recognition. While the scoreboard wasn’t in their favor, Detroit’s offense showed encouraging signs of life, finishing with over 300 total yards. One of the team’s biggest standouts was a player who had been…
This offseason, one of the more controversial moves the Detroit Lions made was cutting veteran defensive end Za’Darius Smith and failing to re-sign him despite reported mutual interest.
