Detroit Lions — Five ways Ziggy Ansah makes defense better

Megatron fumbled at the 1-yard line and since the ball went out of bounds, the Seahawks were given a touchback.

American Express is a partner of the Seahawks, and they have already been giving card members radios, pre-game experiences and opportunities to meet with players in 2015. Well, they had answers, but they were field goals, and that doesn’t cut it. Arizona started 4-1 last season but had a point differential of just plus-10.

Still, it’s hard not to be disappointed when Matthew Stafford and the Lions’ offense rank 24th in passer rating (79.7), 32nd in yards per attempt (6.2) and t-13th in completion percentage (65.0 percent). That’s why they win so much.

Baltimore barely won in Pittsburgh this week and many would say they didn’t deserve it and should be 0-4. We’ll take a 3-yard pass that turns into an 80-yard run. “The records could easily change based off one minor mistake”.

It’s incredible that they’re nearly 2-0 without Ben Roethlisberger.

Former National Football League coach Bill Parcells is known for saying, essentially, that a team is what is record is. St. Louis does have one elite property that’s looking to buy up all the real estate on the field: Todd Gurley. You may think you have all the talent in the world, but if it doesn’t show up on the field then what does it matter? You can call the Lions a sinking ship, but Chicago isn’t any different.

The Cardinals controlled most of the game against the Rams, but several key mistakes and consistent floundering in the red zone cost Arizona a ideal first quarter to the season.

All the naysayers felt all that negativity was reinforced after Kam Chancellor’s forced fumble against Calvin Johnson on Monday night to thwart a game-winning touchdown for the now winless Lions. The Lions went on to lose, 34-31.

The ball was knocked out of the back of the end zone by the Seahawks’ K.J. Wright.

Last Thursday, two days after wide receiver Golden Tate made remarks on 105.1 FM about the predictability of the Lions offense, Caldwell explained that he had no issue with the comments his players make. The first one, I just overshot him, a little bit too careful with the football. Shifting to the other side of the ball, the Arizona defense could excel if they take advantage of favorable matchups. We’re going to get their best shot. “Having a short week, we have to make sure that we put all of our focus on Arizona”.

The main point from everything the Cardinals have said is that they will not be underestimating their opponent.

“He’s always been consistent”, said Lions cornerback Rashean Mathis. While I don’t think the Cardinals are as good of a team as advertised and I actually don’t think the Lions are that bad either, this is just a awful matchup for Detroit.

Washington most likely snaps back to reality after road games at the Falcons and Jets over the next two weeks.
