- Let's start out with the good news: Calvin Johnson became the quickest receiver to reach 11,000 receiving yards on Sunday. It took just 127 games. Calvin beat out Torry Holt, who needed 131 games to hurdle the 11,000 yard hump.
- To state the obvious: the Detroit Lions' defense was a little better last year:
#Lions allowed 282 points in 2014, 3rd in NFL. They’ve already surrendered NFL-worst 245 this year thru just 8 games.

- Because it's inevitable at this point, here's a Lions 2016 mock draft.
