The worse penalty actually came after Detroit's biggest play, a 40-yard Jared Goff touchdown pass to Jameson Williams that capped the Lions' only successful drive of the night. The Lions did basically nothing in the first half until Goff completed a 34-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown. On the next play, Williams took a route across the field and outran everyone for the score.

They kicked our tail last time we were out there [a 24-9 win in 2023] They know us well, we know them well. It will be a good fight.

ESPN Eliminator Challenge is one of the most fun games to play this NFL season. The rules are simple: pick one team, and as long as they win (or tie), you advance to the next round. If they lose, you are out. The caveat is you cannot pick the same team twice. If you've made it this far, give yourself a pat on the back.

Ali Ridgeway is married to John Ridgeway, a defensive tackle for the New Orleans Saints. The mom-of-one described life as a proverbial "WAG." She said it's exciting, but also demanding. People often think that the wives and girlfriends of professional football players live an entirely glamorous lifestyle. Not so.

A senior White House source told ESPN that the commander-in-chief has expressed his wishes to the NFL team's ownership group, led by Josh Harris.
