NFL Draft editor @TheAthletic. Emergency QB on the Lions’ beat. If you take everything I've accomplished and condense it into one day, it looks decent.

    I am so incredibly sorry. I know there are no words. The families and community of Oxford are in need of every prayer that we can possibly offer them. Lifting you all up before the one who conquered death. – Jim Harbaugh, Michigan Head Football Coach #OxfordStrong

    If anyone ever broke into my house, they’d get Home Alone’d by accident because my kids don’t pick up any of their shit.

    Dan Campbell gives the game ball to the Oxford community, then reads off the names of the students and teacher who were shot during the tragedy this week.

    Reynolds catches that first one and the Lions are probably in the Super Bowl. It's a pretty thin line between brilliance and insanity, and Campbell's entire approach has been built on being OK with landing on either side because he believes in his guys.

    Lions win the toss and defer. Bears then also try to defer and are told they cannot, so they'll take the ball. Good start.

    Matthew Stafford was asked why it was important for him to play. "I’m the quarterback of the Detroit Lions, and it was Sunday, and I got a bunch of teammates out there that work their ass off. ... If I’m good enough to play, healthy enough to play, my ass is gonna be out there."

    Levi Onwuzurike, with an all-timer of a quote: "I like fucking people up. I like to get off the line and just put my helmet or my hands on an offensive lineman and fuck up an offensive scheme, pretty much. I like pushing 'em back 2, 3 yards and just making 'em feel like shit."

    DeMarcus Ware using a fake spin move on Joe Staley remains an all-time gem.

    Someone lock Jon Gruden in a basement before he trades Amari Cooper for a picture of the 1985 Bears' defense.

    The Red Wings also beat the Leafs and the Pistons didn’t play, perfect Detroit sports night.
