From Sports Network- The Detroit Lions placed safety Marquand Manuel on injured reserve due to a shoulder problem, meaning he will miss the remainder of the season. The team also put cornerback Jack Williams on IR with a torn ACL [...]

We've got some more Pittsburgh Steelers / Kansas City Chiefs content coming before their Sunday matchup at Arrowhead Field, but on to my weekly picks. Been doing so well I figured I'd continue on. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3) @ Kansas City Chiefs This would be a signature win for the new Todd Haley regime, but I don't see it happening. In fact, I like the Steelers to come out angry and play a ferocious...

Woo more Thursday night football that I can't watch because I don't get the NFL Network. Woo. 1. Carolina Panthers (-3 1/2) vs. Miami Dolphins No more Ronny Brown means no more diesel wildcat. All wildcat will now be run with the 130 pound gazelle Pat White. It won't be very effective and the Dolphins offense will struggle because of it. 2. Philadelphia Eagles (-3 1/2) at Chicago Bears The Eagles and...

Three weeks ago, I took a look at the Detroit Lions offensive line and the Rams were able to pull out a victory in Detroit. Last week, I did not cover the New Orleans Saints offensive line and the Rams loss. Coincidence? Absolutely, but it never hurts, right? The Arizona Cardinals have started the same 5 [...]

"He's still, I believe, in the college mode," Edwards said of Cherilus, pointing to the offensive tackle's pass-blocking technique. Specifically, Edwards said Cherilus "turns his shoulders quickly." Vikings defensive end Ray Edwards on Gosder Cherilus

It looks like Sunday's game between the Lions and Browns is headed for a blackout. 7,000 tickets are still available for Sunday's game, and the deadline to reach a sellout is 1 p.m. tomorrow. Of course, if the Lions somehow sell a few thousand tickets and show that they can reach a sellout, then a 24-hour extension will be granted on the deadline. If that doesn't happen, though, the game will almost...

The Browns have seven games left this season. Starting this Sunday against the Detroit Lions, the Browns should move on without Jamal Lewis. I say this without any malice or anger. I don’t care that Lewis spouted off in the locker room last week. This season Jamal Lewis has topped 100 yards once. That was [...]

DETROIT – As expected of two teams that combined for one win entering Sunday, the St. Louis Rams and Detroit Lions played an awful football game. St. Louis, though, loved the outcome — for the first time all season. Steven Jackson's 25-yard touchdown run with 1:38 left lifted the Rams to a 17-10 win over Detroit, snapping their 17-game losing streak. The Rams (1-7) avoided matching their worst start...

ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Jim Schwartz doesn't want his Detroit Lions to play an overly conservative offense. Without Calvin Johnson, he doesn't think he has much of a choice. Even with a bye week to prepare and the return of rookie quarterback Matt Stafford, the Lions (1-6) couldn't move the ball consistently against the hapless St. Louis Rams on Sunday, losing 17-10 to a team that hadn't won a game in...
