Allen Park — Here are four observations after having a night to ponder the Detroit Lions’ 34-11 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Oruwariye chalked his latest pick up to luck. “Right place at the right time,” he said after the 34-11 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. But in a mostly dismal season, the third-year cornerback
“Bench Jared Goff.” “Bench him now. Bench him today. Bench him tomorrow. Bench him yesterday. Just bench him.” If you’re a Detroit Lions fan who feels this way, I can’t blame you. Especially after Sunday’s debacle on offense that led to a 34-11 bludgeoning by the Cincinnati Bengals at Ford Field. Goff played poorly in
No tears this week, just anger. And Dan Campbell had every right to be ticked off.

Detroit — Bad is bad. Boring is worse. Bad, boring and bumbling is the worst of all. No broken hearts for the Lions this time, just broken spirit, broken plays and a broken record of misery. Unofficially, the clock starts now. At 0-6, the Lions are the NFL’s last winless team, and it’s getting harder
Detroit — Jim Schwartz made it until December before he finally snapped. Publicly, at least. Dan Campbell made it to mid-October before doing the same. And if the scenarios aren’t quite the same, the emotions certainly were. The anger, the frustration, the embarrassment. Losing is one thing. But losing like this? For a rookie head
Detroit — If the Detroit Lions’ goal is to get a little bit better each week during this rebuilding season, they fell well short against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Detroit — Justin Rogers grades the Detroit Lions’ performance after their 34-11 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback At some level, it’s easy to feel bad for Jared Goff, at least as much as you can for a guy making $30 or so million per year on his current contract. The Lions didn’t surround him with
The defense played well. No, really, it did — for a half, anyway, though even saying that feels like unfairly dumping on the part of the team that competed Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. Don’t let the final 34-11 score fool you. The Detroit Lions held the Bengals to 10 points in the first half and if not
