It’s just the little stuff and the little stuff is continuing to get us.” The Lions managed a season-low 312 yards and became the second team in the past 25 years to enter a game leading the league in scoring and put up a zero. “I feel the turnovers hurt us and the type of game we were in, we wanted to score and we didn’t want to settle for field goals,” St. Brown said. The Patriots effectively took tight end T.J. Hockenson out of the game, limiting Goff’s top receiver to one catch for 6 yards on four targets. “I don’t think the bye week could have come at a better time for us as a team,” St. Brown said.
