DETROIT (AP) — The postgame stats stuck out in glaring fashion after the latest home loss by the Detroit Lions. Adrian Peterson: five carries for 7 yards. D’Andre Swift: six carries for 1 yard. Detroit’s anemic running game — and indeed, its offensive ineptitude in general — had the Lions playing from behind the entire second half Sunday, and they eventually lost 41-21 to Indianapolis. The defeat was Detroit’s seventh straight at home. The Lions managed only 29 yards rushing and lost the time of possession battle badly. “You want to try to do your best to stay balanced all the way through the game,” coach Matt Patricia said. “When that’s not happening, it just gets a little bit away from you.” Detroit’s only touchdown of the first half came shortly after the Lions blocked a punt.
