"You forgot what it was like when you had nothing and you ate your fucking molded bread, and it just fine and it gave you everything you needed." Dan Campbell assures #Lions will be fine in fiery rant: 'We're going to find a way' @richardsilva18.bsky.social www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

Nolan hit the nail on the head. The way he leads has become a huge strength. On a few teams I’ve covered, you see nuances when athletes use their pressers to convey a message. Jared does it well.

One thing is certain after the #Lions' 48-42 loss to Buffalo on Sunday: Jared Goff is still Detroit's MVP. He's playing the best ball of his career, but his real superpower has always been his poise — and that's exactly what his team needs right now. www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

Hard to even find the words to describe the Lions' current injury situation. Never seen anything like it. Probably won't see anything like it again for a long time. All in a season where they were at one point drawing comps to '07 Patriots. "Devastating" is an understatement

'Wish I wouldn't have done that:' #Lions' Dan Campbell explains early onside kick vs. Bills www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

The other shoe has officially dropped. After weeks of the Detroit #Lions holding the line with a banged-up front seven, Buffalo Bills quarterback and MVP frontrunner Josh Allen put Detroit's depleted defense in a blender all Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

When in doubt...Jahmyr Gibbs.

Former #Lions RB Ty Johnson had 57 receiving yards on the #Bills' opening drive, including 24-yard reception on third-and-5 to keep the drive alive. Josh Allen caps it off with a TD from a yard out. Bills 7, Lions 0 (10:56 1st)
