With all the trouble the Detroit Lions have had in recent drafts, it’s safe to say that the 2013 crop has turned out to be one of their more productive classes.

For worldwide viewers, NFL Game Pass includes every game live online (for both the regular season and preseason) for a fee. Expect to see a big game out of Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers in this one. The Raiders have yet to win a game this season – team is 0-5 – when L. Murray (or whom ever they have in the backfield) fails to rush for at least 100 yards.
Cooper sees the Raiders having opportunities, but they just aren’t taking advantage.
Added DeMeco Ryans: “I think we’ll be a lot better than we were”.
“I’ve got tremendous confidence in Billy Davis”, Kelly said, according to ESPN.com’s Phil Sheridan.
Facing the Lions might be just what the Eagles need as they’ve been giving up an average of 374 all objective yards per game.
Of more concern to Del Rio is a three-game losing streak that has dropped his team to 4-6 and taken much of the shine off what began as a promising season. Stafford, meanwhile, has been sacked 26 times this year, 17 of which came in his last four games. We all knew, or should have known that this team was not fully developed, or ready right now to truly challenge for a division title or a playoff position.
Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez was sacked three times and picked off three times last week, one returned for a score. “I’ve been lucky enough to be around some really good players and some great coaches, and I can’t really speak to theirs to tell you the truth”. With the help of Dallas’ defense and two early fourth quarter drives by Romo, the Cowboys scored a touchdown on the first play of the quarter and later scored a field goal, clinching the 24-14 win.
“We’ve got to look at ourselves in the mirror because at the end of the day nobody can change it except us”, Graham said.
The Eagles defense, which has been suspect for most of the first half of the 2015 season was once again without rookie inside linebacker Jordan Hicks in the team’s loss to Tampa Bay. He is facing an Eagles rush defense that was thrashed in three of the last four games after being one of the top rush defenses in the NFL. “We’ve just got to go faster”, Lions defensive tackle Gabe Wright said. Hopefully that means it was just an aberration, and they aren’t truly as bad as they looked. No matter how badly the season is going – and there have been some rough ones in Detroit – the city always appreciates its holiday football showcase.
“He’s one of the most confident people there is”, Carr said. Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston threw for five touchdowns and no interceptions against the Eagles last week. Del Rio maintains it was identical to the so-called “Calvin Johnson rule”, which holds a receiver must control the ball all the way through the catch and not let it hit the ground.

-The formula for the Lions to win should be the same as it has been the past two games. This young group of players, and new coaching staff must now prove that they have the resiliency to over come difficulties, make adjustment, and find ways to get the team back to Just Winning Games Baby! . Stop the run on defense and limit turnovers on offense. The Eagles are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.
