NFL Winners and Losers: What do we make of Peyton Manning and Denver? (Losers - Detroit Lions: When you lead 21-3 on the road, you have to finish the job. The Lions are going to regret collapsing at San Diego in Week 1. There were some positives, most notably that rookie running back Ameer Abdullah looked like the real deal. But even though they got two huge interceptions off Philip Rivers, including one returned for a touchdown and another in their own end zone, they couldn’t win. That’ll sting later.):   http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/nfl-winners-and-losers--what-do-we-make-of-peyton-manning-and-denver-022428022.html

10 reasonable Week 1 overreactions (10. The Detroit Lions are finished without Ndamukong Suh! Last season, the Lions only gave up 30 points twice, with the most being 34 points to the Patriots. On Sunday against the Chargers, they allowed 33 points in a loss and Philip Rivers threw for 404 yards, which is more than anyone threw for against Detroit in 2014. There is one major difference between the Lions last season (when they won 11 games) and this season: The gaping hole in the middle of the defensive line that used to be occupied by Suh, who signed a $114 million deal with the Dolphins in the offseason. Former All-Pro Haloti Ngata might be too old to fill the void for Detroit. It's only one game, but sometimes that's all it takes.):   http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/149217714/nfl-week-1-10-overreactions-taylor-mariota
