“I expect every year to play in big games and play for big prizes, like the Super Bowl. The Lions are intent on creating havoc, even without their top pick, injured tackle Nick Fairley. Still, sustaining success isn’t easy, especially with this winning thing all new to the Lions. They’re 8-point favorites Sunday, and near as anyone can tell, it’s their biggest spread since they were nine-point favorites in the 2000 finale against the Bears, a crushing loss. Suh was the NFL defensive rookie of the year last season and led the Lions with 10 sacks. The Lions’ evolution continues, and this week’s shocking revelation is, we actually have to ask if they might take an opponent lightly.

The Lions deep defensive-line rotation — eight guys filling four spots — spawns great competition. Avril admits there’s a fierce debate to see who leads the team in sacks, and that’s fine with Schwartz, as long as everyone recognizes there are other ways to dominate. Coach Jim Schwartz had no major complaints about the line because Freeman often was on the run and the Buccaneers rushed for only 56 yards. That’s a good sign, with the Chiefs bringing what was the NFL’s No. 1 rushing attack last season, led by Jamaal Charles. On Thursday, the team has partnered with RiDetroit to host a downtown bike ride.

America’s vote earned them a trip to the finale where they will compete against nine other acts. And now, you’re going to be in, in my opinion, the best final we have ever had,” said judge Simon Cowell. On June 13, the Lions originally traded tight end Michael Roberts to the New England Patriots in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The trade was rescinded the next day, and Roberts was subsequently released by the Lions.
