On Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions receiver Tim Patrick had a sizable role in his team debut. He played 33 offensive snaps—more than Kalif Raymond—and was the target of three Jared Goff passes. For a player who was added less than three weeks ago, that’s a significant start.

The Detroit Lions offense was one of the best in the league last year, but they’re off to a slow start in 2024, and this time it cost them a chance at victory. After putting up 20 points in regulation last week, Detroit managed just 16 this week, despite SEVEN trips into the red zone.

For the second straight week, the Detroit Lions will try to avoid being on the wrong end of a revenge tour. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are back in town after the Lions disposed of them in the Divisional Round of the playoffs by a score of 31-23. Last week, the Lions avoided revenge at the…
