- With their victory on Sunday, the Lions improved to 7-2 and matched their win total from last season.
- It's been a while since a new Lions head coach has had this good of a start in his first season with the team.
Jim Caldwell's 7-2 start is the second best for coach in his first year with the Lions, behind Potsy Clark's 8-1 mark in 1931.

James Ihedigbo had a pretty priceless reaction when he was told after Sunday's game that he facemasked Ryan Tannehill during his interception return. Ihedigbo wasn't even aware of that until he was informed by the media.
- If the Lions keep winning, we may have to start calling this the Anti-Curse of Jim Schwartz:
As pointed out by my colleague @kmeinke in the locker room; the #Lions are 4-0 since Jim Schwartz was carried off the field by his players.

Drew Stanton is officially the Arizona Cardinals' starting quarterback with Carson Palmer out for the season with a torn ACL. As noted by Dave Birkett, it's going to be one heck of a week for Stanton with the Cardinals playing the Lions on Sunday:
Not only is Drew Stanton taking over as starter & facing his old team this wk. His wife is also expecting their 2nd baby any day. #WhatAWeek
