About this listen
The Detroit Lions’ season effectively ended with a 29–24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and no amount of ref talk can hide the truth.
This wasn’t about one penalty. This wasn’t about bad luck. This was about a defense that got physically dominated when everything was on the line.
The Lions surrendered 230 rushing yards at 8.5 yards per carry, failed to adjust, and showed zero evidence they were ready for playoff football. Coaching decisions, schematic stubbornness, and refusal to own reality cost this team their season.
In this episode of Detroit Lions News Podcast, we break down:
-
Why the run defense collapse was unacceptable
-
Why excuses about “3–4 plays” don’t survive film or stats
-
Why coaching accountability starts right now
-
How injuries exposed philosophy flaws
-
Why this team didn’t prove they belong in the playoffs
This was a playoff-type game — and the Lions played like a team already done.
