On today's Current Sports with Al Martin Segment of the Day, we dive into what happened last night in the embarrassing opening preseason loss for the Detroit Lions against the New England Patriots. Al tells you why Lions fans need to relax, for one pretty obvious reason. Is this game any indication of what's to come for the franchise in the 2019-20 season? We break it all down, and highlight some of the breakout players from last night's game.
