- Eric Ebron was tagged with two penalties against the Titans, both of which took touchdowns off the board. After the game, he was understandably mad.
Football Has Changed.

To which Ebron responded:

Ebron is, of course, referring to his own touchdown that was nullified by a poor pass interference call—as seen above. The salt is strong with this one.
- Ebron wasn’t the only one miffed by the officiating. Former Detroit Lions guard Geoff Schwartz took notice:
Enough with the flags in Detroit. At some point you have to let them play.
— Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) September 18, 2016
He was especially upset about the non-call when Matthew Stafford’s lower leg was rushed into:
Damn that's a dirty hit on Stafford. Dude crawled into his lower legs. Should be a flag

- Moving away from penalties, Adrian Peterson suffered what looked like a major injury last night against the Packers. The injury was bad enough that Barry Sanders sent him his well wishes:
Sending my prayers to @AdrianPeterson tonight.
— Barry Sanders (@BarrySanders) September 19, 2016
It does look like Peterson is walking on the injured leg now.
- This is one very big positive to take from the Lions’ first two weeks of the season:
Something I didn't think I'd say two weeks into the season: The Lions are averaging 5.4 yards per carry, third in the league

- Here’s your post-game press conference round up: Jim Caldwell, Matthew Stafford, Glover Quin, Golden Tate, Darius Slay.
- The Lions cheerleaders made their debut on Sunday. Here are some pictures.
- This is important to keeps thing in perspective after the Lions fell to 1-1:
As of tonight only two teams are 2-0 in the NFC. (Giants & Vikings) Eagles (1-0) vs. Bears on Monday night football.
