As if being a supporter of the Detroit Lions is not challenging enough. 

With their latest 19-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Lions became the first team in NFL history to lose on a successful field goal of over 50-yards twice in the same season. 

Have the Lions now also become an adjective to describe heartbreaking losses? 

At the conclusion of a tough Indianapolis Colts loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Steve Levy of ESPN levied a description of the loss that should sting all of Detroit. 

"The Colts, kind of a Lions kinda loss," Levy said, as the Ravens came from behind to defeat the Colts, 31-25 in overtime. 

At one point, the Ravens were trailing 25-9 with 12:04 remaining in the game.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson continued his stellar play, as he tossed a touchdown pass to tight end Mark Andrews to cut into the Colts lead. 

On the next Colts possession, Calais Campbell came up with a block of Rodrigo Blankenship’s kick to give Baltimore another opportunity for the comeback. 

Jackson went 37-for-43 with 442 passing yards and four touchdown passes. 

Andrews finished his stellar evening with 11 receptions for 147 yards and two touchdowns.
