Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Last edited:
There are varied reports on Abdullah. One says he is done for the year, another says he could be back after the off week (week 10?). Ansah will be out one more week.

Matthew Stafford has passed former Lions QB Bobby Layne for No. 62 on the NFL's all-time passing yards list. He is currently at 26,829 yards. Layne threw for 26,768 yards in his career and was the career leading passer when he retired.

Per ESPN Stats & Info, Lions CB Nevin Lawson's 66-yard pass interference penalty is the longest in the league since at least 2001. He was flagged for this in the first half of Sunday's Lions-Packers game.

Kerry Hyder with another sack for the Lions. Third straight week with at least one sack for him. One of the few bright spots for Detroit in an otherwise atrocious first half that saw a shredded defense and an inconsistent offense as the Packers lead, 31-10.

Marvin Jones is having a career day for the Lions. He has six catches for 205 receiving yards -- a career-high -- and two touchdowns. His touchdowns were 73 yards and 35 yards.

Marvin Jones is the second Lions player to have a game with at least 200 receiving yards and multiple touchdown receptions in the Super Bowl era. The other is Calvin Johnson. Jones' has the most receiving yards by a Lions player not named Calvin Johnson since Richard Johnson had 248 against the Saints in 1989.

Detroit found some offensive life -- including a clear No. 1 receiver in Marvin Jones -- but the Lions have to be concerned about their defense in a 34-27 loss to the Packers. Aaron Rodgers shredded the Lions throughout the first half and Eddie Lacy ran through them in the second. Injuries hurt, but the trajectory of the defense has to be a concern for Detroit.
