Victory Monday is a concept Detroit Lions fans haven’t been able to experience much over the last five years, until now. For the sixth time in seven games, the Lions won on Sunday.
The Week 15 win over the New York Jets evened Detroit’s record at 7-7 after a 1-6 start. The 20-17 road win also kept the Lions’ postseason hopes very much alive with three games to play.
Detroit exited the game without any significant new injuries, a pleasant development that leads to a pretty insightful snap count tally. The initial game grades from Pro Football Focus are also available, and they tell an interesting story with their numbers, too.
