As record lows are sweeping the nation Da'Shawn Hand Jersey White , and people are literally forced to stay inside their homes to prevent frostbite in the face of wind chills up to -60 degrees fahrenheit, it’s a good day to reminisce about some of the best plays in Detroit Lions history.And in keeping with the cold tradition, let’s go with a different definition of the word. Perhaps my favorite definition of cold is disrespectful, as in, “You’re selling thousands of dollars of meaningless stock to your fanbase? That’s cold.” So today’s Question of the Day is:What is the “coldest” play in Lions history?My answer: Perhaps the coldest move in football is the stiff arm. It’s as close to a legal slap as the NFL offers, and it’s one of the few ways an offensive player can physically dominate a defensive player. Another key to a “cold” play is stunting on the opponent. There has to be at least some sort of taunt and/or celebration for a play to be truly cold. I think you probably already know where I’m going with this, because on November 6, 2016, Golden Tate had the most disrespectful play in Lions history. The Buttflip is “cold” on so many levels. First, there’s the stopping on a dime that sends a Vikings defensive back missiling into nothing. Then there is the stiff arm that sends All Pro Harrison Smith into the turf Womens Sylvester Williams Jersey , the completely unnecessary flip that has Andrew Sendejo sniffing Tate’s backside, and the celebration in front of an opponent’s crowd after a game-winning touchdown. This is the coldest play in Lions history and it’s right up there with some of the best ones around the NFL. Miss you, Golden.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals had hoped for the first winning streak of the season after a morale-boosting win at Green Bay in the snow last Sunday.But the Cardinals offense regressed in a 17-3 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, which dropped Arizona to 3-10.The Cardinals gave up three sacks and struggled to deal with the Lions’ pass rush, and they ran for just 61 yards as a team, averaging 2.9 yards per rush.In the end, their worn-down defense couldn’t keep the Cardinals close in the final minutes.“We didn’t create any movement up front on the offensive side of the ball to generate some positive plays on first and second down,” Cardinals coach Steve Wilks said.“We have to do a much better job protecting the quarterback, allowing him to go through his progression. And we have to protect the football.”Wilks said he was “extremely surprised” at his team’s performance coming off the win at Lambeau Field.“Great momentum Youth Austin Bryant Jersey , big win. We had a great week of practice,” Wilks said. “We have to learn how to finish. That’s what we didn’t do.”The Cardinals were able to avoid being blanked for the second time this season thanks to Zane Gonzalez’s field goal in the fourth quarter.The offense sputtered with only five first downs in the first half and no points from its best drive, which ended in a missed 54-yard try from Gonzalez.“Sometimes when you go three-and-out early, it’s hard to get in any kind of rhythm,” quarterback Josh Rosen said.The second half was only slightly better, but saw the Cardinals booed after a three-and-out late in the third quarter.The fans cheered loudest for the continuation of longtime wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald’s streak of games with at least one catch, which is up to 224.Fitzgerald figured to be more of a focal point with Christian Kirk out for the season because of a broken foot.But Fitzgerald — who became the NFL leader for most receptions with one team at 1,286 — had one catch through three quarters.“Obviously we had an awareness on him,” Lions coach Matt Patricia said. “We know he is going to get the ball. We know he is going to get open in critical situations. You saw that as the game was going on and they got back to him and he was able to make great plays. You just kind of hold your breath the whole time because he can change the game in a second.”Down 3-0 in the third quarter, the Cardinals had three straight first downs on their second possession of the second half. Then Rosen was intercepted by the Lions’ Darius Slay Womens Christian Jones Jersey , who returned the ball 67 yards for a touchdown.“It’ll be a frustrating Monday,” Rosen said, looking ahead to breaking down the offense on film, “but a Monday that needs to happen.”On the drive for the field goal, the Cardinals — looking for some way to get points — tried a direct snap to rookie running back Chase Edmonds on first and goal from the Detroit 8, but it resulted in a holding penalty that backed them up 10 yards.Arizona had to settle for Gonzalez’s 22-yard field goal with 8:14 to play. The Cardinals finished with eight penalties for 83 yards.Still trailing only 10-3, the Cardinals still had a chance. But the Lions handed the ball off to running back Zach Zenner seven times on a drive, the seventh carry was a 1-yard touchdown that sealed Detroit’s win.“We have to be able to muster up more than three points,” Fitzgerald said. “Converting more consistently on third downs and extending drives would be huge.” « NEW YORK (AP) — The Jets have interviewed former ColtsWhat could this Crimson Tide safety bring to Tampa Bay?" » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
