He is considered doubtful to play in Detroit, but he’ll travel with the team and see if he improves to the point that he can play. “So that was a touchdown or nothing drive in my mind”.
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers, $7,500 – Unlike Tom Brady, starting Aaron Rodgers this week comes with a good amount of risk.
“We’ve still got a lot of games to play, so we’re not getting down on this”, safety Nate Allen said. The Lions get a break against a limited Raiders pass rush and can also get a big impact from tight end Eric Ebron.
The Lions still have the NFL’s worst rushing offense, and running back Joique Bell had just 17 yards on 14 carries last Sunday.
Lions’ offense, good stat: On 38 drop-backs against the Packers, the offensive line gave up only three hits and no sacks. “We’ve got a good group in terms of being resilient, I don’t think there’s any question about that”.
SERIES HISTORY: 12th regular-season meeting. The past four weeks, Carr has throw 13 touchdown passes to go along with over 1,200 yards passing, and it will shock nobody if he has a 300+ yard game, along with a few scores as well. I think that’s the great thing about him and I think he wants to be a great player, he’s working to be a great player and I think he’s on his way, ” Austin said. If Norton, and J.D.R. (who also knows something about defense) are smart – and I believe they are – then expect to see Johnson shadowed by T.J. Unfortunately for us, and for them – Detroit wide receiver C.

“You can’t have a letdown, especially after a big, emotional win like we had last week”, he said.
Detroit’s interim general manager, Sheldon White, made the moves for a team that has a win-now mantra from team owner Martha Firestone Ford. He has a better offensive coordinator who fits his strengths and the two of them have both gotten better as they have worked together. “And she was supportive, so that’s good”. That being said, I’m still comfortable giving him the go.
At least among who’s left on the 53-man roster, anyway.
What is clear is that the Raiders wide receivers will provide a challenge.
-DE Jason Jones (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday, but will likely play Sunday.
Hudson, who sat out last week’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings with an ankle injury, returned to practice this week and seemed to be making progress but coach Jack Del Rio didn’t sound so optimistic when asked about Hudson’s availability.
He was listed as questionable on the team’s official injury report, which was released on Friday afternoon.
Pick a name out of the hat and that player will become the No. 2 ball-carrier on Sunday.

-The best way for the Lions to win is find a few way to match their defensive performance from last week’s win against the Packers.
