PFF Power Rankings (Detroit Lions (Ranking: 27):  Matthew Stafford almost led Detroit to a come from behind win but fell short in their bid on the road. Stafford has been accurate to start 2018 but has thrown far too many turnover-worthy throws. Their defense is struggling, allowing a 109.0 passer rating against. They have blitzed on 40 percent of pass attempts, the fourth highest mark through two weeks.):   https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-2018-pff-nfl-power-rankings-week-3

ESPN Power Rankings (29. Lions:  The silver lining to Detroit's loss on Sunday: When a quarterback plays that good, it usually equates to a win. Matthew Stafford is the first QB with 300 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and no interceptions in a loss against the 49ers. -- Clawson):  http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24715438/nfl-power-rankings-rams-new-no-1-chaos-2018-week-3

SN Power Rankings (29. Detroit Lions 0-2 (last week: 29):  The Lions have a common denominator in their losses — their defense is the kind Matt Patricia got from the Patriots in Super Bowl 52, which isn't good. Darius Slay being concussed is another blow.):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/amp/nfl/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-3-rams-bengals-steelers-patriots/xmdmrdlwzcju1i4fc99hrg4fi

Yahoo Power Rankings (29. Detroit Lions (0-2, LW: 28):  The Lions fell behind 30-13, but rallied to cut that deficit to three points and had the ball late in the game with a chance to at least tie it. If you want a sign the players aren’t tuning out Matt Patricia, maybe that’s it. It would be nice if they didn’t start games in these huge holes, however.:  https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/sports/nfl-power-rankings-rams-went-offseason-paying-off-040652061.html

NFL.com Power Rankings (30.  Lions: Give the Lions credit; they fought until the bitter end. Midway through the fourth quarter against the Niners, it seemed as though San Francisco would win handily. The 49ers' offense was humming, Matt Breida was running all over the field and Matthew Stafford was throwing Charlie Hough knuckleballs, not Justin Verlander fastballs. After being off early and feeling plenty of pressure from the opposing front, Stafford started dealing, with some of the relevant plays being a 67-yard catch-and-zig-zag from Golden Tate and a smooth highball to tight end Michael Roberts. Then, with San Francisco clinging to a 30-27 lead and facing third down, the defense picked Jimmy Garoppolo! Excccccccept, Quandre Diggs held tight end George Kittle away from the throw. The flag flew, a first down was awarded to the Niners, and the Lions were left with much less time for a last-gasp foray. Game over. What a Lions-y (Browns-y) way to fall.):  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000963730/article/nfl-power-rankings-week-3-rams-jaguars-take-top-two-spots

Walterfootball Power Rankings (30. Detroit Lions (0-2) - Previously: 31.  People who didn't pay attention may see that the Lions lost by just three points, but they were getting blown out, 30-13, when the 49ers took their foot off the gas, and the Lions scored some garbage-time touchdowns. Detroit's defense is atrocious, while Matthew Stafford continues to be overrated in all facets except for fantasy. The Lions also happen to be poorly coached, as their rocket-scientist coach can't figure out to give his best players - i.e. Kerryon Johnson - the ball. But that's OK, keep having LeGarrette Blount fall forward two yards every play. It'll eventually pay off, and Blount will fall forward three yards. It'll be great.):  http://walterfootball.com/nflpowerrankings.php
