Chris Renwick, Lloyd Jackson, and Jaime Edmonds Talk to Lions Legends and Sportswrap Host Lomas Brown about the Lions vs Panthers game this Sunday.

DETROIT ~ The Detroit Lions head to Carolina this week looking to build on a strong start to the season after improving to 2-1 with a 31-24 win over the New York Jets. Detroit has averaged 31 points per game through its first three contests and will look to keep that momentum going against the Panthers. 

For Lions fans, the game is another chance to see whether Dan Campbell’s team can continue establishing itself as an NFC contender. Quarterback Jared Goff and the offense have scored 93 points in three games, but Detroit’s defense will be looking for improvement after allowing 95 points through the first three weeks of the season.
