Well, with all due respect, that particular play seemed to warrant offsetting unsportsmanlike penalties, but as is typical with the Lions, only Cliff Avril was flagged. The late fumble and Brandon Pettigrew's stone hands also didn't help. Otherwise, Giants fans might be in a panic today about losing to the "lowly" Detroit Lions. It's a moral victory, I know, but this is the best Lions team I've seen since the late 90's in terms of overall talent. Now, if they could just figure out how to close out a game or two, they might be onto something. A 1-5 record does not really accurately describe how they've played, especially considering how brutal the schedule has been (@NYG, MIN, GB, CHI, home versus PHI, STL).
