The 2024 edition of the Detroit Lions took the field for the first time in a preseason game on Thursday night. Facing the host Giants in a rainy New York, the Lions fell 14-3 in a game where very few Detroit players who will see any significant offensive or defensive action in the regular season suited up.
It was not a pretty game for either team. Detroit led 3-0 after the first four drives for both teams despite not picking up a single first down. The depth on defense outshone the offensive reserves for both the Lions and Giants.
Here’s some of what I took away from watching the game in real time.
