Darius Slay sets NFL-best mark vs. Panthers.
Since entering the league, no one is better at breaking up passes than Darius Slay.

Darius Slay wasn?t at his best against the Carolina Panthers. He gave up a few completions and probably would?ve given up a few more had Devin Funchess not dropped a handful of others. He did have one of the best plays of the day, running down rookie receiver D.J. Moore and preventing a touchdown.

However, early in the game, Darius Slay notched a pass breakup?the first of what would be two against Cam Newton?and with it, he surpassed both Robert Alford and Brent Grimes for the most pass breakups by an NFL player since the 2013 season?Slay?s rookie year.

Slay now has 83 pass breakups in exactly 83 games played (74 games started). That?s even more impressive when you consider Slay only had five passes defended in his rookie year.

Last season, Slay led the NFL in both passes defended (26) and interceptions (8). While he?s off to a much slower start this season (9 passes defended, t-9th; 2 INTs), his consistency throughout the past few years shows he?s still one of the best corners in the league.

The streak is finally over. For the first time since being acquired prior to Week 8, Damon "Snacks" Harrison (@snacks) is not the highest graded defender in a game for the @Lions. He has been dethroned by rookie Tracy Walker (@TracyWalkerIII).

Kenny Golladay (@kgxix) took advantage of the extra targets with Marvin Jones missing Week 11 due to injury. Golladay's 14 targets were the most by a wide receiver.
The sophomore standout's 88.4 grade is 5th-highest by a WR in Week 11.

Pride Of Detroit Lions Blog Podcast: Tanking is a scam anyway; reactions from a Lions-Panthers win on PODcast. 86 minutes.
We?re dropping some truth and breaking down more from the Lions victory over the Carolina Panthers.

I don?t know if the Lions winning was meaningless or not, if we?re being perfectly honest.

All of this?sports especially, to say nothing about the existence of man against the cosmic white noise?is perfectly meaningless if you get down to it, with the only real value attached is entertainment and the emotional links self-imposed upon such. It may have importance to individuals, but that doesn?t ascribe it meaning.

But the win was fun, regardless, and I think that matters a lot more than whether or not you thought the win meant anything.

All that said, what this win didn?t do was kill the Lions? shot for a good draft pick. Consider that in 2014, the Lions had a top ten pick in that loaded draft class?nevermind of course they spent it on Eric Ebron over Aaron Donald, that?s another issue. The point there? The Lions were 7-9 that year.

It?s impossible to tank in the NFL, and even if it was possible, it?s a damn scam, the sort that would make those ghouls on Wall Street blush and figure out how to keep the SEC in the dark while they screwed over the world. It?s arbitrage of hope, asking you to give up all short-term joy in the prospects of more short-term joy in the future?and it may never come.

But anyway, to hear about this and all our thoughts from the Lions win over the Carolina Panthers, Kerryon Johnson?s injury and a preview of the Thanksgiving throwdown against the Chicago Bears, you should listen to the Pride Of Detroit PODcast. It?s out now, and it?s golden.

No First Byte this coming week, and we?ll be back with a new edition of PODcast after the holiday. Enjoy life with your families, people.

This week on the PODcast:
Riverboat Ron has folded his hand. The Lions win on a failed two-point conversion. How did it all happen?

Jeremy praises the run defense, the shining spot there that will only get better with time (or so we hope). Good hope too for the pass rush.

Kenny Golladay and Kerryon Johnson showed you why they?re the future for this offense.

Audible Dong returns as Special Teams MVP.

Tanking is a ponzi scheme: a lecture by Professor Chris Perfett. Refreshments served in the Rawls Lounge.

Mailbag has: more from the Lions game, Thanksgiving drinking selections, Jeremy?s horrific White Castle story, Owen Wilson, Adam Sandler, ?Curt? Cousins, the 2019 NFL Draft and those gray Lions uniforms.
