- Former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz was only a part of the Detroit Lions organization for a few months, but came away impressed. He has been even more impressed with how the Lions have played this season and penned an excellent breakdown of why this team is drastically underrated right now. He even calls the Lions “the front-runner to win the NFC North.” I highly recommend reading the entire thing.
- Sports Illustrated’s Peter King similarly praised the Lions, and explained why he thinks the 10-second runoff rule should be changed.
- We’ve raved a lot about Glover Quin and the year he’s already having, but he isn’t the only Lions safety having a good season. Miles Killebrew is really coming along well:

- A drunk driver who rolled his car on Sunday, is blaming the accident on the Lions’ heartbreaking loss to the Falcons.
- Darius Slay is this week’s guest on #AskALion, and has some... interesting thoughts about the shape of the Earth. Don’t worry, he makes up for it with some solid “Rugrats” takes:

- DetroitLions.com posted on-field audio from Detroit’s Week 3 game against the Falcons. Don’t worry, they don’t include the last play in the highlight reel.
