The next time the Detroit Lions play will be in January. That’s 2023, if you’ve lost track of time, and the calendar, and perhaps your name and where you grew up. But this isn’t about the time-bending, multi-connectedness soup we reside in and wasn't it just summer a couple of weeks ago anyway?
This is about the Lions. That they are playing a game in January — JANUARY. That Sunday’s game against Chicago at Ford Field means something.
Which also means that the Lions played games in December that meant something. Like the one in Charlotte last Saturday, when they gave up oodles of rushing yards and were never really in the game after a first-quarter fumble and why are we rehashing that putrid performance?
