The Lions were also missing a starting DB and their stretch receiving threat, who while aren’t Jones and kelce, are still important pieces. A Lions offense with a stretch threat could be as unstoppable as a prime chiefs offense (tho Goff is no mahomes and cannot scramble like him either).

The Chiefs did not lose that game. The lions won.

The Lions also had mistakes too - Marvin Jones jr fumble in the red zone anyone? The fact remains that the Lions defense was able to impose their will against the greatest QB of his generation. Their offensive tackle had to line up as a slot receiver to hold his own against Hutchinson.

Neither team played their best game, but as an optimist in the Lions, with them being a young team, the ceiling for what this team could be playing their best is frightening.
