- Tate is also an extremely successful human being off of the field. The NFL Players Association named him the Week 12 Community MVP.
- Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com calls the Lions the third-most watchable team in NFL, behind the Raiders and Cowboys. Shame no one else in the country ever gets to watch this team on national TV.

- In case you missed it, cornerback Johnthan Banks was claimed by the Bears, but he wasn’t the only player waived by the Lions that was snatched by another team:
Broncos claimed former Ravens' RB Justin Forsett on waivers today, per source. Broncos' HC Gary Kubiak and Forsett reunited again.

- The Lions play the Giants in Week 15. It looks like they may be without one of their best pass rusher, Jason Pierre-Paul.
Giants are hoping JPP doesn't need surgery, source says, but it seems likely he'll be out a few weeks regardless. https://t.co/i9yMAmw2Lv

- Brandon Copeland was “Wired for Sound” this week and complained a lot about the pregame music.
