The Lions trade for Everson Griffen makes complete sense for a club in need of pass rush. While Lions head coach Matt Patricia didn't want to get too much into how they'll use Griffen until he is allowed in the building Monday, it's clear he'll provide a complement to Trey Flowers and Romeo Okwara. Detroit's pass rush has been toward the bottom of the league most of the season, as has its pressure and pass rush win rate. Griffen should help in all of those areas immediately. Big win for Detroit.
Cowboys trade DE Griffen to Lions for draft pick

Gurley 'mad as hell' as TD leads to Falcons loss
Falcons running back Todd Gurley lamented his late touchdown that gave the Lions enough time to drive down the field and rally to beat Atlanta on Sunday.
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
It was as improbable as you would have thought it was -- the Detroit Lions get back to 3-3 after a come-from-behind, Matthew Stafford-led 23-22 win over Atlanta led by Stafford's 340 yards. His only touchdown, though, came on the game's final play, an 11-yard pass to T.J. Hockenson that capped a 75-yard drive reminiscent of the Stafford of old, when come-from-behind wins were at worst a monthly occurrence. Few might have been bigger than this one, though, with Detroit needing positive momentum.
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
The Lions haven't had any huge breakdowns but some of the team's usual issues (lack of pressure and some questionable tackling leading to defensive problems) have helped Atlanta to a 14-10 halftime lead over Detroit. Linebacker Jarrad Davis has been able to pressure Matt Ryan but otherwise it's been largely ineffective (and Danny Shelton couldn't wrap Matt Ryan up when he did get inside). Offensively, Matthew Stafford has been efficient & D'Andre Swift (5.0 ypc) has been Detroit's best back.
Falcons, Lions make MLK their honorary captain
Late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was named an honorary captain by both the Falcons and Lions for the teams' game in Atlanta on Sunday.
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer

Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer

T.J. Hockenson's growth what the Lions need to succeed on offense
The Lions are banking on the former Hawkeye becoming a consistent scoring threat and he has the size and skills to do it.
