Who matters most in Week 2: Pressure rising on Matt Patricia? (Lions coach Matt Patricia: While Monday's loss to the Jets was nothing less than a flaming implosion for Detroit, even more concerning are the whispers from NFL Network's Mike Garafolo noting that Lions veterans were already "griping" about first-year coach Matt Patricia during the summer. Unhappy with a heap of new team rules and grueling practices, Detroit's holdovers haven't exactly warmed up to Bill Belichick's longtime understudy, per Garafolo. That said, this doesn't look like a cadre of players deserving a break after getting wiped away on national television by a Jets team resembling Patriots 2.0. The schedule doesn't ease up, as Patricia must now venture west to tangle with a familiar face in ex-New England (and current 49ers) signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo. Long plane ride home if the Lions nap their way through another game.):   http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000961847/article/who-matters-most-in-week-2-matt-patricia-must-right-lions-ship

QB Power Rankings Week 2: Carr in trouble? (Color me concerned - 13. Stafford:   He was apparently giving away his signals to the Jets AND got hurt AND generally looked terrible. Not the start we wanted to see from the Lions offense.  Both of these guys were in my "near elite" category to start the season. And I'm not selling out on them entirely after a single game. There's too much statistical history here to just give up on Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford. But another game with the same problems we saw from them in Week 1 would really sound some alarms.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-qb-power-rankings-week-2-could-the-raiders-move-on-from-derek-carr-after-2018/

Previewing every Sunday game in NFL Week 2 (LIONS AT 49ERS:  The Lions won’t fulfill Gary Gramling’s NFC Championship Game prediction if their running game doesn’t get better. They’re facing a Niners defense that allowed just 82 yards on 27 carries to Vikings tailbacks last week. One reason was third-round rookie linebacker Fred Warner, who flashed as a quick gap-filler.):   https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/09/14/nfl-week-2-preview-analysis-news
