The Detroit Lions have the first Sunday of the football season off, and it was well earned. After taking down the defending Super Bowl champions, several Lions players traveled across the country to visit their Alma Maters (sorry, Jahmyr Gibbs) to get some extra rest.
We, the fans, also get an opportunity for an early rest. After a late night on Thursday watching our fellas pick up the win—and maybe taking a Fireball shot in the process—we can sit back and just watch the first week of the NFL unfold this Sunday.
