- Jim Caldwell announced the captains for Sunday’s game during his Friday press conference, and he listed Ezekiel Ansah as a name, but only “if he continues to progress.” Still, that has to be a good sign for Ansah’s availability against the Rams.

- The Lions are doing a throwback this week to the 1991 Lions team. But the team’s official website posted these crazy highlights from the Lions-Rams game in 1964.

- If you’re looking for a reason why Todd Gurley has struggled this season, look no further than the offensive line. He is getting met by defenders quicker than any other running back in the league:
Todd Gurley ranks last in the league in yards before contact per attempt.
