Suh later added a second sack, giving him 30.5 for his career.That first sack was officially credited to Suh. He now has the team record for Sacks from a DT (29.5). Passed Shaun Rogers. #DETvsMIN

George Johnson, who played a big part in the Lions' pass rush against the Minnesota Vikings, had a pretty great Sunday.
George Johnson, who was cut by the Vikings last year, gave a passionate pre-game speech to the DL and got a game ball after the win.

Theo Riddick left Sunday's game after aggravating his hamstring injury, but he's already planning to play next week.
-
Reggie Bush, who was inactive on Sunday because of an ankle injury, is also planning to play next week (against his former team, the New Orleans Saints).
- It's time for our weekly section of depressing stats about the Lions' awful kicking game.
In 21 seasons Jason Hanson never missed more than nine 40+ yard field goals. The Lions have already missed nine from 40+ this year.
— Michael David Smith (@MichaelDavSmith) October 12, 2014Lions have now missed more FGs in a season (10) than Jason Hanson ever missed in a season (9).

- Part of the problem is that the Lions are stalling drives short of the red zone at a pretty alarming rate.
Lions have tried 77 percent of their kicks from at least 40 yards. NFL-wide average is 43 percent.

- On a positive note, Sam Martin's reaction to Matt Prater's one made field goal on Sunday was pretty great.
Sam Martin REALLY liked that 52-yard FG from Matt Prater. #OnePride pic.twitter.com/a08ZErQKc1

Ryan Broyles is not happy with his lack of playing time, and I don't blame him one bit.
It's tough to keep a smile on your face when you feel like u are being held back but remember you are where u are for a reason!
