Allen Park — When Lions cornerbacks Darius Slay and Rashean Mathis line up against the Denver Broncos receivers on Sunday night, it’ll be almost like practice for them.
Facing Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, they’ll have their hands full with one of the most challenging receiving tandems they’ve faced this season.
At 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, Thomas is a big receiver, similar to the build of Calvin Johnson and the speedy Sanders (5-11) can be tough to handle on the outside or inside.
“They’re very talented, very good guys — all of them are Pro Bowl-caliber receivers.
