"The whole game was frustrating," Lions guard Graham Glasgow said. "Things felt a little off, so it was nice to go into overtime there and every play we called worked. It just felt good. The fits were good. It was a satisfying end to a very frustrating game."
As for the Lions, they're finally good enough to start counting style points. Simply winning - as they did with their 26-20 overtime victory - isn't enough anymore. Their standards have changed.
One game into the season and the Rams already are hobbled and hurting. That they not only were able to hang around, but also delivered such a scare to Detroit, was a testament to their experience and resolve.
In another era, we'd be peeling the Lions off the ceiling. This is a franchise that has never been to the Super Bowl...They've gotten even better in a few ways.
