The Detroit Lions played one of their worst games in the last two or more seasons on Sunday night. Thanks to some self-inflicted wounds, poor execution on offense and a good opponent in Houston, the Lions trailed the Texans 23-7 at halftime.
And then it happened. Fueled by two interceptions from cornerback Carlton Davis and the offense waking up and adapting to the Texans' fast, game-winning defense, Detroit pulled off the mother of all comebacks.
How rare was the Lions' comeback? Consider this treat from The 33rd Team:
The Lions became the first team since the AFL/NFL merger in 1970 to overcome a deficit of at least 15 points while throwing five or more interceptions.
No team has ever kicked themselves so hard and still come back to win a game, not since at least five years, before Dan Campbell or Brad Holmes were even born.
