The Detroit Lions were good enough to beat the Green Bay Packers but they weren’t good enough to beat the Packers and the referees. The Lions fell prey to the zebras. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers stole a win from the Lions to improve to 5-1 and stay in first place in the NFC North.
Despite losing a heartbreaker at home to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Detroit Lions proved that they are for real and will contend in the NFC this year.

Darius Slay is underpaid by NFL standard, but there’s no reason for the Lions to hand him a big money deal. Instead, they should trade the talented corner. The Lions certainly aren’t blessed with the most talented secondary in the NFL. Losing Darius Slay would be a massive blow to Matt Patricia’s defense. It’s still

Right now the Lions have the No. 8 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, but GM Bob Quinn would be happy to trade down for extra picks. Most NFL teams are doing everything they can to keep their Draft Day intentions a secret this time of year. The Lions don’t abide by that philosophy.
