Both DT Jon Allen (groin) and LB Cole Holcomb (quad) will play Sunday. Both full practice. ... Wasn't really a question about them playing

There are more bets on the Detroit Lions -1.5 (vs. Washington) than any other Week 2 NFL side at @BetMGM books.

69% of bets, 65% of handle on Detroit.

Lions haven’t been a favorite in 24 games.

Interesting choice by the public …

The Lions are the second highest bet on favorite of the week. 76% of people are on Detroit despite their disappointing showing and Week 1 loss.

Every team should go on Hard Knocks. No team should say no to HBO.

Terry, Samuel, Dotson, Thomas, Gibson and McKissic

You can't have all of them on the field at once which means we have at least one playmaker on the sideline every play.

Our depth really has improved#HTTC

We only get 17 of these a year.

What if we’re in the beginning stages of the “good ole days”?

Enjoy the moment. Don’t consider how they’ll screw it up, look to each week with anticipation. It’s been far too long not to enjoy every second of this ride pic.twitter.com/NBsAN1NtEG

With JDR's comments Thursday about Jamin, I went back to a May interview on the team site where Jack came across as really optimistic about Davis in 2022. Here's a clip from that combined with his more harsher quotes. Clearly trying a different tact pic.twitter.com/7XAmsDN2V8

Also worth noting that Terry was teammates with CB Jeff Okudah at Ohio State and Jahan was teammates with CB Amani Oruwariye at Penn State.

A lot of familiarity there + the Lions like to play press man, which led to a lot of big plays given up against the Eagles

#Chargers QB Justin Herbert has a fracture to his rib cartilage, per HC Brandon Staley. They’re considering him day-to-day.
