Detroit Lions - Team Notes

DAK FOUND DEEP BALL. STAFFORD? STILL SEARCHING.
Dak Prescott is the third QB this season to throw three TD in a game on passes at least 15 yards downfield.
Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford's seven such attempts without a completion match the worst performance of his career, done twice previously. (ESPN Stats & Info).

STAFFORD FALLS IN LATEST TOTAL QBR.
Monday night's loss in Dallas in prime time resulted in Matthew Stafford's lowest adjusted Total QBR rating since last month's win over the Jaguars. He falls two spots this week.

LIONS RISE IN POWER RANKINGS DESPITE LOSS.
The Lions are on the verge of missing the playoffs altogether after their latest loss Monday night at Dallas. But they get the benefit of the doubt this week, moving up a spot to No. 10

Breaking down the call: Was A’Shawn Robinson’s ‘body slam’ illegal? good read.
Is there even a rule against it?
PrideOfDetroit

"In this instance, there is no moment between when Robinson stops Elliott’s momentum and when he begins to bring him down by lifting him up. It’s all one tackling motion.
And as for the “body slam,” Robinson clearly doesn’t use his full force in slamming Zeke to the ground.
In fact, most of the impact with the ground is absorbed by Robinson himself as Elliott lands mostly on top of him".

COULD TERYL AUSTIN REPLACE REX RYAN?
Both of the Lions' coordinators will be talked about for head coaching vacancies this offseason, and ESPN Bills reporter Mike Rodak notes this wouldn't be the first time defensive coordinator Teryl Austin has been on Buffalo's radar.
 
Lions HC Jim Caldwell said there was no consideration of sitting Matthew Stafford down 21 late in the fourth quarter.
Caldwell said Dak Prescott was still in the game.

Jim Caldwell, asked if it is a big game for his future in Detroit. He said it's a big game for "the team, the team, the team." Said it is big for the whole organization.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell said he understands questions about his job security -- they'll always come -- but is glad to be where they are, in control of their own playoff fate.

Aaron Rodgers is 5-1 at Ford Field (not counting the 2010 game he left with a concussion) and there are some fascinating reasons why.
Rodgers once told me Ford Field is more humid than most indoor stadiums and the football has always felt comfortable in his hand there.
Randall Cobb told me a couple of years ago the field turf in Detroit is the exact style of turf the Packers have on their indoor practice field. Whatever works.
Fuck the pack and fuck espn.
 
Most net yards per punt in Lions history:
1. S Martin 43.9 (2016)
2. S Martin 42.0 (2015)
3. S Martin 40.4 (2013)
4. S Martin 40.1 (2014)

The Lions-Cowboys game received the highest national ratings for a ?Monday Night Football? game in over two years. In Detroit, the game earned a 29.5 rating, compared to Dallas, which drew a 34.9 rating.
