It’s because magic happens when Matthew Stafford is mic’d up. And guess what? Matthew Stafford was mic’d up against the Browns. Watch it here.
- The Detroit Lions’ offensive success on third down wildly varies depending on how many yards they need. It may not surprise you that they are horrible on third-and-short, but actually pretty decent on third-and-longs:

- The Chicago Bears are reportedly wearing their “Monsters of the Midway” throwback uniforms for this week’s game against the Detroit. Lions Wire has more on what those look like and how the Bears have performed donning the throwbacks.
- On Tuesday, several Lions players joined with the Neighborhood Service Organization to help distribute coats to those in need. (VIDEO):
