While the Lions played perfect ball in the 1st half and exploited the Skins weak showing, they made mistakes in the 2nd half that the Skins did not capitalize on.
I think if it hasn't happened already, the locker room and the front office is losing faith and support for Zorn. He is going to have to do something in order for these guys to stop mailing it in.

I think it's safe to say he's too emotionally caught up in the RZ struggles right now and it's impacting his play calling and decision making.
I know he wanted to make an early statement by going for it on 4th down, but he should have taken the 3 as bitter of a pill that would have been to swallow, it's something he needed to do.
Also, he should have declined the penalty and made the Lions kick the FG. Think it would have been a 49 yarder, not exactly a chip shot. Instead the Lions got the first down and it was a big momentum changer with the TD.
