Detroit's Receivers are Forming a Scooter Gang in Hawaii
While All World receiver (and owner of the best nickname in football, Megatron) Calvin Johnson isn't able to participate in the Pro Bowl due to a nagging injury, being a good teammate, he flew down all of the Detroit Lions receivers to join him (by private jet no less) in Hawaii, which frankly is awesome. Enjoying their time together, the Lions receivers seem to have formed a...

Week 15 Fantasy Football Recap: Lions vs. Raiders
Detroit Lions – 28, Oakland Raiders – 27
For a while it looked like the Raiders were going to get the best of the Lions and deal a severe blow to the Lions post season hopes… but the Lions roared back with two touchdowns in the last five minutes of the game to steal one on the road against the Raiders. Matthew Stafford (396 total yards, 4 TDs) was the major reason...

Stafford amazing in Lions' comeback win
Matthew Stafford led a stunning Detroit comeback over the Raiders, 28-27.
Fantasy Spin:
Stafford won a lot of Fantasy owners a playoff game today, more than likely, with 391 yards and 4 TDs. If you own him, youll forgive the one interception. More than half of that yardage -- 214 -- went to Calvin Johnson, who also mixed in 2 TDs. Nate Burleson also had 7 receptions for 81 yards...

Detroit Lions @ Oakland Raiders: 3rd quarter running diary
The QB battle is even, almost like the 17-14 score.
Palmer: 17-21-202-1 TD-122.6 rating
Stafford: 15-25-212-2 TD-114.1 rating
But the difference is the Raiders have out gained the Lions 70-13 on the ground. Kevin Smith is playing for the Lions, but it's obvious he's not close to 100%.
Megatron: 4-98-1 TD. It's his best game in...Hell, it's been a while since Johnson...
