That’s exactly what the Arizona Cardinals are doing with veteran running back Chris Johnson. The Rams recovered the ball. Second, it would have been better for the Cardinals if the Lions had won at least one game. Matthew Stafford leans heavily on him on third down. I can’t think of it, but we are at that point now.

Detroit Lions’ fans are calling out Monday night officials for being “Blind to the bat” after an officiating error may have given the Seattle Seahawks an unjust win. Detroit was another team that was supposed to be contenders.
The Lions (0-4) are the only winless team in the National Football League, and they face another tough opponent this weekend when they host Arizona.
Palmer overthrew the open rookie on fourth-and-two at the Rams 43 late in the game. The Cardinals (3-1) are coming off a loss to St. Louis, but Carson Palmer has a passer rating of 106.4, and Larry Fitzgerald already has five touchdown catches.
“We definitely have had and we still have high expectations for ourselves, so it’s just a matter of getting this thing turned around”, Lions receiver Calvin Johnson said.
“(Brown) is as fast as I don’t know what”, Slay said.
Big news out of Baltimore this week as former Wake Forest wide receiver Michael Campanaro suffered a herniated disc injury during Thursday night’s game against the Steelers. We had an obvious fumble that was blown dead on forward progress on the initial hit. Obviously, that is significantly different than the opposing offense getting the ball on the twenty yard line.
Blandino said the Competition Committee might consider making illegally batting a loose ball a reviewable penalty in the future, but the league generally prefers not to make subjective calls reviewable. The struggles of the rest of the division against other teams will only make life easier for the Rams, but St. Louis must not replicate the others’ issues with playing outside the division.
Unless you live in Tampa Bay or Jacksonville you won’t be able to watch this game, won’t hear about this game, and quite possibly do not care about this game. They will also get the heart of their defense back this week in DeAndre Levy. New Orleans as a team is slowly coming together and with CJ Spiller returning in week four you should expect him to be a big part of the offense against a Philly defense that couldn’t even stop the “Annexation of Puerto Rico” if the studied the “Little Giants” tape all week. Johnson is hands down the best offensive player the Lions have and still one of the best in the game, so this play had nothing to do with talent.
STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE: The Lions and Cardinals might not be as far apart as their records suggest. Over the last three seasons, these two clubs have met once in each of the aforementioned years – and things have not went well for Detroit.

Taking a realistic approach here, Detroit will likely win one of the two home games against the Bears and the Vikings. Palmer is 16-3 in his last 19 starts.3. Backup Drew Stanton threw two touchdown passes for Arizona. Defensively, the Lions are allowing 24 points and 403.2 yards per game. “He came in really young, with not a ton of football experience”.
