1. The Lion King: The Detroit Lions have control of the NFL North until further notice. A rather comfortable win against the Packers on Thursday Night Football, in Lambeau, kicked off Week 4. The rest of the action just reinforced Detroit’s position. The Vikings got their first win of the season, scraping by the hapless Panthers, while the Bears blew a 21-point lead to a bad Broncos team. The Lions are playing confident football and have everything in place to coast to the division title.
I saw a lot of Bears fans say things like “they’ll find a way to lolion it up” but it’s time to put those jokes away.
