The Detroit Lions secured a hard-fought 20-13 victory against the Arizona Cardinals, showcasing their resilience after a previous loss. Despite the win, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown emphasized the need for the offense to improve, particularly in scoring more points. The Lions' defense played a crucial role, limiting the Cardinals to just three points in the second half. Quarterback Jared Goff had a solid performance, but his four interceptions this season raise concerns as the team looks to enhance their offensive efficiency moving forward.
- The Lions' offense is underperforming compared to last season.
- Resilience is a key trait of the Lions, as they have not lost consecutive games since 2022.
