Marvin Jones Jr. Leads Lions With 12 Targets

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. caught six passes for 48 yards in the Lions 41-25 loss to the Texans on Thanksgiving.

Kerryon Johnson Posts 98 Total Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson carried the ball 11 times for 46 yards and added four receptions for 52 yards in the Lions Thanksgiving loss to the Texans.

Matthew Stafford Disappoints In Thanksgiving Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 28 of 42 passes for 295 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Lions 41-25 loss to the Texans on Thanksgiving. The Lions offense simply is not the same without star receiver Kenny Golladay (hip), and a strong first half was wasted by stagnant offensive play in the second […]

Adrian Peterson Gobbles Up Two Touchdowns In Loss

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 15 times for 55 yards with two touchdowns in the Lions 41-25 loss to the Texans on Thanksgiving.

The Cut List (Week 12) - Time to Let Go?

Dobbins and Mark Ingram II are […]

Week 11 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 11 was an odd one for quarterbacks. The Patriots Defense stifled Lamar Jackson in Week 10 and followed that up by allowing Deshaun Watson to finish as the No. 1 quarterback on the week. Taysom Hill, Kirk Cousins, Philip Rivers and Andy Dalton were the unfamiliar names that found themselves inside the top-10 this week. […]
