PAT CAPUTO: Two Points? Twenty Points? Who Cares? Just Another Lions' Loss In Green Bay
Usually when the Lions lose at Lambeau Field — which has become every year — the final score isn't close.
In 2009, they lost, 26-0. In 2008, the final score was 31-21. In 2007, 34-13. In 2006, 17-9.
It's not only that the Lions have lost every road game to the Packers since 1991, it's they've usually gotten blown out in the process.
Sunday was different. You see the final score — Green Bay 28, Detroit 26 — and maybe get the notion the Lions are making progress.
The Lions rallied from being down. They controlled the time of possession. They were anything but dominated in regard to yards gained by the Packers, the choice of many so-called experts — myself included — to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
