Charlie Jones returns the opening kickoff for a TD!
I will never understand how in most game Alec Pierce is just ignorred. Kind of like McCaffrey for Washington but he is further down on the
depth chart. With Pierce it makes no sense regardless of who is the quaterback. He had 0 catch's in the first half. So frustrating!
Cooper Dejean with 3 punt returns for 45 yards so far. I always fear our guys returning kicks as I will never forget what happened to Jason Sehorn on a ordinary return that cost him the season.
I was just gonna post something to that effect. He's been nothing short of brilliant. The Vikings keep blitzing and he still completes pass after pass.Goff has been on another level these past 3 weeks!
I think it would take many more weeks of ineptitude. Richardson is likely the worst passing QB in the league but if he wins “ugly” it’ll be easy to keep him in. Obviously the offense was much more in sync and dangerous with Flacco.I wonder if Indy will do what Carolina did with the bust Young and put Flacco back in as the starter over Richardson rather than just as an injury replacement. Probably not, it would make too much sense if they want to have a decent chance of making the playoffs this season.
He is one of the worst quarterbacks ive ever seen. And one of the biggest reaches in draft history.Richardson 5-15 for 64 yards so far.

Goff, Mayfield, Darnold, all written off by the corporate media and the clapping seal DWFs as busts, all three playing great.
Don’t forget JMarcus Russell, the alltime bust. Also, Aliki Smith was a 90s quota that got pushed to the moon and was an epic bust.I feel shades of AHDIW with Richardson. It seems Irsay is heavily invested in his pet quota as well. Young and Richardson could both go down as two all time busts for sure (joining Trey Lance who might be the biggest QB bust of all time, taking that over from Ryan Leaf).
Let's not forget the first black QB to win the Heisman in 1989. Andre Ware was selected 7th in the first round.Don’t forget JMarcus Russell, the alltime bust. Also, Aliki Smith was a 90s quota that got pushed to the moon and was an epic bust.
Not a 1st rounder, but 2nd rounder Quincy Carter was another big bust of that era. Jerry Jones is a cuck.
Lions vs. Vikings score: Jake Bates hits game-winning FG, Detroit delivers Minnesota first loss of seasonBy Jeff Kerr

The Detroit Lions have taken over first place in the NFC North, thanks to the heroics of Jake Bates and Jared Goff. Bates drilled a 44-yard field goal with 15 seconds to play to give the Lions a thrilling 31-29 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in a thrilling NFC North battle that saw two of the NFL's best team engage in a shootout.
Watching the highlights now, the announcer referred to him as a “steak and potatoes guy”. I guess that is the new “lunchpail” moniker!DeJean with a real nice punt return now. Breaking tackle after tackle for 20-something yards.
I wonder if he had an algorithm write the story for him.Here’s an entry for my personal crusade against the ineptitude of modern sports journalists. Today’s dunce cap goes to Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports.
There are three mistakes in the two lines of lede alone. The first comma is unnecessary because it’s not a compound sentence. The second sentence uses the same adjective twice in a row, which is tacky if not outright improper. Our esteemed beat writer finishes his impact statement by forgetting to pluralize “two best team.” You could also quibble that Jeff Kerr did not need to specify “NFC North” in consecutive sentences.
When news companies get around to building a large language model that can subtly throw shade onto white athletes and observe the racial hierarchy, these hacks will be deservedly put out to pasture lickety-split.
