The Lions just keep settling. Week 3 is beginning to look a lot like Week 2 for the Lions, and they have already settled for three field goals against the Titans. Last week against the 49ers, they tried five field goals (made four) after drives repeatedly stalled. The previous drive ended when Mikel Leshoure ran … Continue Reading →
Today’s game should be a perfect matchup for the Lions. Following a disappointing loss to the 49ers, the Lions draw the Titans, who rank 31st in defense and are tied for 23rd in offense. In most cases it’d be hasty to judge a team after two games, but so far the Titans have looked thoroughly … Continue Reading →
In the most surprising play call of the night, the Lions dialed up a quarterback draw by Matthew Stafford. Stafford found plenty of room to run, picking up 11 yards and a first down. But Stafford was sacked two plays later, and the Lions face a third and 17. It looks like they may settle … Continue Reading →
Matthew Stafford is making a habit of starting slow. He was just 7 of 16 for 67 yards and an interception in the first half and never seemed to find a rhythm. The halftime score bodes well for the Lions because they didn’t play their best on either side and are only down 8. Maybe … Continue Reading →
The Lions defense held the 49ers at midfield, and the Lions got the ball with 1:05 left in the first half. But, unlike last week, Matthew Stafford didn’t air it out. After a run by Kevin Smith, Stafford took a knee. At halftime, the 49ers lead 14-6. San Francisco starts with the ball in the … Continue Reading →
After the Lions forced a punt, Matthew Stafford gave it right back the 49ers. On third and 6 from the DET 20, Stafford overthrew Titus Young by a mile and was intercepted by safety Dashon Goldson. Goldson returned it to the DET 23, and now the 49ers are in scoring range.
Thanks to two turnovers and some hard running by Mikel Leshoure, the Lions lead the Bills, 28-10, at halftime of their final preseason game. The Lions gave up an easy score on the Bills’ first drive during which quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick went 5-for-5 and threwa four-yard touchdown to Steve Johnson, who was open in the … Continue Reading →
Several Lions are under the microscope in the Lions final preseason game tonight against the Bills at Ford Field at 7 p.m. Several starters will take the field, but more emphasis will be on the performances of bench players hoping to make the roster with the Lions needing to trim the roster from 75 players … Continue Reading →
Remember him? Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor just scored on a 17-yard scramble to give the Raiders a 17-13 lead with 41 seconds left in the third quarter. Pryor has had some success so far tonight after taking over for Carson Palmer. He has 81 yards on four rushes, including a 59-yard run, and … Continue Reading →
The Lions have kept some of their offensive starters on the field to start the second half. The offensive line, running back Kevin Smith, tight end Brandon Pettigrew and wide receivers Nate Burleson and Titus Young all started the third quarter. Calvin Johnson’s night is likely over. Matthew Stafford is also done and nursing a … Continue Reading →
