The Detroit Lions cruised to another victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, but it didn’t come without its costs. Terrion Arnold suffered a long-term injury, leaving the Lions quite shorthanded
at cornerback for the time being. Additionally, we saw some struggles from left tackle Giovanni Manu, who had to step in for Taylor Decker. With Decker’s immediate availability unknown, Manu could be in line for another start or two. Do the Lions need to consider a different option at left tackle, or can we only expect Manu to get better after his first career start—and no longer having to face an All Pro like Trey Hendrickson.
These are the topics we tackle on this week’s PODcast, as we recap the Bengals game and look forward to a daunting schedule ahead that includes the Chiefs, Buccaneers, Vikings, Commanders, and Eagles—all playoff hopefuls.
Here’s a look at some of the topics we discuss on this week’s show:
- Bengals recap: Detroit continues to play complementary football
