Game 14: Broncos @ Lions *Saturday Night* Thread

Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery are making Lions history.

This is the first time the team has EVER had two players with 750+ rushing yards in the same season.

I agree it would be a neat variation. I have this old nfl board game called NFL strategy Football. I remember one of the plays is called 88 A & B Divide where both backs went out on routes like the one Gibbs scored on . You could run so many different plays with two backs.
Im not advocating using it every play but you could have something with both backs. You just so not see many 2 back sets anymore in todays game.

Didn?t Bobby Lane and that other old dead guy do that in the 50s? Norman Cash, or something?

TinselWolverine,
Bobby Layne was the Lion's QB in the 50's and Norm Cash was the Tiger's 1B in the '60's and early 70's. Both had one thing in common, they liked their alcohol 80 proof.
 
Bears about to lose after being up double digits again in the 4th.

Gb loses.

Good day.
 
The Lions have totaled 19 wins over the last two seasons.

This ties for the most victories the team has had in a two-season span.

Lions TE Sam laporta (758) passed WR Calvin Johnson jr (756) for the 3rd-most receiving yards a rookie has produced in franchise history.

Lions TE Sam laporta's 8 receiving TDs tie WR Roy Williams (2004) for the most TD receptions in a season by a rookie in franchise history, regardless of position.

The only rookie TE in NFL history to produce at least 70 receptions, 700 receiving yards and 8 receiving TDs in a season.

The most receiving TDs by a rookie TE in NFL history:
1. 12, Mike Ditka, 1961
2. 10, Rob Gronkowski, 2010
3t. 9, Lions TE Sam laporta, 2023
3t. 9, Junior Miller, 1980

The only rookies in Lions history to produce 1,000+ scrimmage yards and 7 TDs in a season:
Jahmyr Gibbs (2023)
Kevin Smith (2008)
Barry Sanders (1989)
Billy Sims (1980)

Among all #NFL QBs since 2017, Lions QB Jared Goff ranks:
- 1st in passing yards (28,492)
- 1st in passing 1st downs (1,397)
- 1st in 20+ yard completions (397)
- 2nd in completions (2,473)
- 6th in passing TDs (176)

The first QB in Lions history to throw for 25+ TDs in consecutive seasons.
Lions QB Jared Goff tied the franchise record with 5 TD passes.

The only QBs to tally three games with 4+ TD passes for the Lions:
Jared Goff
Matthew Stafford
Bobby Layne

With 90 receptions on the season, Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown joins Odell Beckham Jr. and Michael Thomas as the only three players in
NFL history to record 90 receptions in each of their first three-career seasons.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown has now passed Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry (288) for the fourth-most receptions through three-career seasons in NFL history.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St.Brown has set a single-season career-high with seven touchdown receptions in 2023.
He has produced at least four receptions in 18-straight home games, extending his franchise record.

The Lions have scored 48 TDs this season.
This is the most TDs the franchise has logged through the first 14 games of any season.

The Lions are the only team in the NFL to have four players with 7+ TDs this season:
David Montgomery
Sam laporta
Jahmyr Gibbs
Amon-Ra St.Brown

The Lions offense ranks:
- 2nd in rushing yards
- 2nd in 20+ yard plays

I'd have thought Farr-Taylor or Owens-Taylor would have done this. Looking it up, both came close, especially Owens-Taylor.

So did Taylor - Bussey

Here a couple of scenarios however unlikely. bleh

Stafford first round
Patrica (Philly) Second round
Gym Shorts (Browns) in SB

-Or-

What happens if Stafford ends up winning a playoff game in Detroit before the Lions do?

I hope not. It's not because I like Stafford......I just don't want the week leading up to our first home playoff game since 1993 to be ALL ABOUT Stafford back in Detroit. Stafford for Goff. Stafford gets a ring. Stafford and his wife still LOVE the city of Detroit......blah blah blah.....

Did you know Matthew Stafford grew up playing baseball with Clayton Kershaw?

Also, we don't have anyone that can cover Kupp or Nacua.
