Give the Lions a ton of props here, people. Do you know how hard it is to win an NFL game with 12 rushing yards (on 21 carries)? I figured Detroit would struggle in this spot, as being in first place must be so uncomfortable for this group. In fact, I was off on the Jags- Lions score by one point in my Game Picks column. What's even more intriguing than all that jazz -- er, Motown -- is the nuance involved in playing quarterback in this league. Matthew Stafford's subtle headiness and accuracy ensured the win Sunday. Up 23-19 on the Lions' final possession, Stafford and crew needed to convert a third-and-5 on the Jags' 36-yard line. After the snap, Stafford quickly fell under pressure and stepped up and to the side. The Lions QB waved a crosser to the left in order to throw off the defense and open things up for Theo Riddick on the right. Stafford then put just the right amount of touch to lead Riddick so that he could sprint for the first down. That play salted away the clock, and helped give Matt Prater a much more makeable field-goal attempt (which gave us the game's final score of 26-19). #Lions
