32 NFL Observations, Week 2 (Detroit Lions: Rookie guard Frank Ragnow has allowed 13 total quarterback pressures so far this season, the most ever recorded by an offensive guard in the first two weeks of a season.): https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-32-nfl-observations-week-2
Week 3 QB Power Rankings (14. Stafford: Much better bounceback for Stafford even if the Lions lost again. 347 yards and three touchdowns -- that's closer to what Stafford could have had in Week 1 with a full game and some catches from Marvin Jones.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-qb-power-rankings-week-3-ryan-fitzpatrick-in-top-10-where-did-rising-star-patrick-mahomes-land/
One reason for each 0-2 team to hope in 2018 (4. Detroit Lions - Reason for hope: The defense will continue to buy into Matt Patricia's coaching. We had to go through six quarters of mistake-filled football first, but the Lions showed signs of life in the second half of their loss to the 49ers. Rather than trying to freelance and make plays, Detroit's defenders -- who were loosely coached before -- seem to finally be responding to Patricia's scheme. Matthew Stafford is leading a passing attack that is stacked with firepower. When the Lions fully buy into Patricia's approach on defense, they'll be a much better team -- especially if they figure out how to get something out of the ground game. To me, this group is still capable of making a potential playoff push, though I would not put them in the same neighborhood as the Texans, Raiders and Giants.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000964359/article/texans-raiders-among-02-teams-with-best-shot-at-a-turnaround
