GAME WITHIN THE GAME
Who gets the drop on the other guy? The Lions had a pick-6 to open their season and immediately burped up that lead against the Jets, fought back, then got their doors blown off. There was a strong scent of give-up from Detroit in the first game and if the Patriots – in front of a national television audience – begin to de-pants Patricia, expect the Lions crowd to jump ugly. Meanwhile, the Patriots have been staggering around offensively and defensively in the early portions of games going back to last season. Can’t have it. Can’t.

- When the Lions have the ball: Patriots D has to play faster
- When the Patriots have the ball: A pass rush from Patricia? Why start now?
LIONS GOTTA STOP
