VIDEO: Danny Amendola Moronically Costs Lions Any Chance at Victory by Refusing to Go Out of Bounds
By Adam Weinrib
The Detroit Lions, buried deep in their own territory without a time out as OT threatened to expire, had very little chance to win this football game, by any measure. However, what minuscule shot they had evaporated in one fell swoop, as Danny Amendola continued to prove the Lions got all the ex-Patriots without any football sense. Amendola, with about 30 seconds remaining, had to duck out of bounds to maintain a quintessence of a shot. Instead? He gained, like, two additional yards before ending the contest. Yay?
After Kyler Murray's heroics, the Cardinals have stolen a tie from the jaws of defeat.
The Lions, on the other hand, get very little out of a Week 1 road tilt. Not even a moral victory. Kerryon Johnson looked very much meh? The defense stepped up...never? These two teams deserved a tie, and by goodness, they got it.
Of course, the bettors are left in the lurch, as always.
Of course the line factored in prominently here. Of course. Vegas knows.
