Lions vs. Saints Song of the Game: ‘Paradise by the dashboard light’ by Meat Loaf
The rush to judgment in the NFL after Week 1 is maddening. We enter the season fully aware that September football is ugly, and Week 1 lies.

The Lions found a way to win, but the time to clean things up is overdue
What happened at Ford Field on Sunday felt far too messy for a team with the kind of expectations they have for themselves.

After a long Detroit Lions offseason—and finding themselves on the wrong end of a 24-3 second-half run—the Lions scraped by the skin of their teeth thanks to a missed Daniel Carlson 62-yard field goal attempt at the end of regulation and defending a failed two-point conversion attempt in a 31-30 overtime victory.

Why Jared Goff’s fumble-turned-incomplete was the correct call vs. Saints
In the second quarter of the Detroit Lions’ win over the New Orleans Saints, they appeared to catch a significant break.
