Flawed Lions' hopes come down to Thanksgiving game vs Packers
Detroit Lions can't afford to play like they did vs Giants against the Packers on Thanksgiving, Cowboys or Rams if they're going to make NFL playoffs.
The Lions are a flawed team & were fortunate to beat the Giants on Sunday. But they did, & that means their goals are still within reach. Their margin for error is slim & they can't afford a slipup Thursday vs the Packers. My column on where things stand w/6 games left www.freep.com/story/sports...

Even Amon-Ra St. Brown knows what Lions should do: Feed Jahmyr Gibbs
Amon-Ra St. Brown is like most wide receivers, he wants the ball. But as the Detroit Lions gathered on the sideline, he told everyone to feed Gibbs.
"That dude’s as good as they come in our league. And he’s making his claim across the league as one of the best players, regardless of position, and we’re lucky to have him."

Lions are Jahmyr Gibbs and not a whole lot else on offense right now. Heck of a run there. 49-yard TD makes it 27-23, PAT pending

Lions struck fear into opponents with their offense for 2 years. That's not the case anymore. They have to string drives together to score now, seem very vulnerable.

Ford Field goes silent at the Giants take a 17-7 lead. 8:21 left in the first half. Isaiah Hodgins open in the back of the end zone. Jameis Winston now 7 of 10, 183 yards and 2 TDs

Giants score on their opening drive on a flea flicker when Wan'Dale Robinson ran behind the secondary, Lions punt on theirs after giving up a 3rd down sack. No WRs open on the play. Brock Wright chipped on Burns before releasing and Kayode Awosika gave up the pressure inside.

Kalif Raymond to make Lions history, but that's not what he's proud of
Kalif Raymond is 38 yards from breaking Mel Gray’s franchise record for the Detroit Lions for career punt return yardage.
This week's 5 Questions is with Lions WR Kalif Raymond, who's on the verge of setting the franchise record for PR yards.
He had a great answer when I asked him what's the best compliment he's ever received.
