“Hopefully, I can get his jersey”.
The Lions were a bit mistake prone at Green Bay.
“Carr is having an unbelievable year”, said Caldwell. He finished his rookie season with five interceptions and didn’t surpass that total until 2008 in his first year with the Packers.
Like the wine he sells, Woodson seems to getting better in a few ways with age.
“It’s all in the grapes”, he said. Plus, the hosts discuss whether injuries to Denver’s Peyton Manning and New England’s Julian Edelman will shift the landscape in the AFC (listen from the beginning for that), and a big matchup this week between Cincinnati and Arizona will be a battle of teams trying to prove they’re Super Bowl contenders (that begins at 41:00). At quarterback, Oakland’s Derek Carr may be the best young signal-caller in the league; Matthew Stafford has struggled, but looked sharp against the Packers.
It was a wild mix of cornerbacks in the game due to Rashean Mathis being done for the season and injuries during the game to Nevin Lawson and Josh Wilson. “Anything that makes your job harder, I’m not a fan of”, Detroit’s Matt Prater acknowledged.
ALLEN PARK In the win at the game at Green Bay, Lions cornerback Crezdon Butler made the biggest play preventing a two-point conversion late in the game. He had a pass deflection and two tackles on Sunday. But the Raiders still view him as the unsafe weapon he always has been, a guy who had nine catches for 214 yards and two touchdowns the last time these teams met in 2011.

“I’d start rookie Ameer Abdullah at running back and ride him through thick and thin”, O’Hara wrote. “The challenges they present, Amari’s fast, a really good route runner, can really blow the top off the defense and Crabtree is a good route runner, really strong at the point of attack”.
