Lions notes: Hutchinson ready to shine on big stage; Elliott irked by Rodgers' disrespect

Allen Park — Since the day he was drafted by the Detroit Lions, hometown product Aidan Hutchinson has made it clear he wants to be a central figure in turning around the perceptions of the franchise. Sunday night, in his first primetime game as a professional, it will be another opportunity for the rookie defensive end to take a step forward with that goal.

"I just love all of it, which is why I'm hoping we can get into the playoffs, so we can keep having these nationally televised games and getting the Lions out of where we were and more into being one of those teams that's always in primetime, always up there with the rest of those good teams," Hutchinson said.
