Detroit Lions encounter more bad officiating in loss to Giants

The rest of the NFC is making it a bunched group for the two wild-card spots.

The Giants corner is now Pro Football Focus’ fifth-best corner this season.

It’s not for the Detroit Lions and New York Giants as they head into Sunday’s game at MetLife Stadium.

Following a back injury to Janoris Jenkins, Apple stepped up in key moments, including breaking up a critical pass play intended for Lions wide receiver Golden Tate in the end zone with 56 seconds left in the first half.

Matthew Stafford likely needs time, and perhaps surgery, to heal his hurting middle finger on his throwing hand.

It will obviously have an affect, as Slay is Detroit’s best cover corner. “We are going to try and change that Monday”. The Bears’ coldest home game, temperature-wise, was against Green Bay on December 22, 2008, when it was 2 degrees with a minus-13 wind chill.

“You find teams that unleash the passing game against guys that can rush the passer and you’re going to have problems”, Caldwell said when asked why he didn’t unleash the passing game more. He did sit out two games with a hamstring problem this year, though. “In the locker room we had to build a brotherhood fast and be on the same page on the field and when it happened and we all just came as one and gelled, the defense is booming after that”. They can still win the division (even with a loss next week). This team has pieces to be explosive on offense but they too often come up short or settle for field goals.

The Lions’ second scoring drive saw the offense convert three out of four third down attempts against the Giants defense, the drive ending in Prater’s 33-yarder to make it 10-6 in the third quarter.

The only way the Giants can win the NFC East is if they win their final two games and the Cowboys (12-2) lose their final two (to the Lions and Eagles).

But they lost. And the Packers won. Having a poor record in the division is what killed the Vikings’ chances this year at winning the division, as their only win so far has been against the Packers. That’s not an easy question to answer. His performance largely backed up the statement.

All the Bears can do at this point is continue to try to ruin other teams’ playoff hopes.

They beat the Bengals (5-8-1) in the opening round of the playoffs 18-16 last January, getting the winning field goal with the help of penalties on Vontaze Burfict and Adam “Pacman” Jones.

NFC North-leading Detroit (9-5) had won five in a row.
