Incredible statistic proves why Lions should bounce back in Week 3

The Detroit Lions lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. While the defeat was frustrating for players, coaches and fans, there's reason to think a bounce back performance is on the horizon.

Not only has Aidan Hutchinson pointed out that the Lions rebounded under similar circumstances as recently as last season, but stats dating back from 2022 back up the general idea.

As summarized by SportsBook Breakers, the Lions are 8-0 after a loss since November of 2022 and they are 8-0 against the spread in that span.

In 2023 when the Lions bounced back after a loss with double-digit wins over the Atlanta Falcons, Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings. All of those games were at home, with the lone road game after a loss last year a narrow victory over the New Orleans Saints.

This week, the Lions will hit the road to take on the Arizona Cardinals.

Dan Campbell wary of multiple dangers the Arizona Cardinals pose

The Cardinals are off to a 1-1 start this season, but they narrowly missed winning their opener and have looked very impressive on offense, scoring a total of 69 points.

Head coach Dan Campbell understands everything that makes the Cardinals a tough foe to prepare for right now.

"They do multiple things on offense. Heavy under center, gap scheme, in your face downhill with (James) Connor. Then certainly, they got pistol (and) they got (shotgun) off of it in the run game. Play action, (bootlegs), keepers. Let (Kyler Murray) break the perimeter, look down field for his receivers. (Greg Dortch) is shifty. Young guy is finding his way in a hurry. So, they're dangerous over there. They've scored first three possessions, first three drives in the last two games. Defensively, they give you multiple looks. They fly to the football. They're aggressive. Buddha (Baker), he's an issue. He's an active player. He is a football playing dude. He can he can smell it, he can sniff it out and he's going to find it. They're physical up front and they play well together. They play hard. So this is going to be an outstanding test for us. They're playing good football right now."

The Lions have experience netting commanding wins with their backs against the wall under Campbell, but this week will be a challenge given the opponent and the venue. Still, recent history says Lions fans should expect a strong showing on Sunday.
