Lions win over Packers called most impressive of Week 5:   https://247sports.com/nfl/detroit-lions/Article/Lions-Week-5-win-over-Packers-called-most-impressive-123066382/

The 2018 NFL offensive scoring rankings (10.  Lions:   Total Points: 125.  The Lions came out swinging against the Packers on Sunday to take a 24-0 halftime lead, which led to an eventual 31-23 victory.   Matt Stafford has thrown 1,385 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions through the first five weeks, while Golden Tate and Kenny Golladay have established themselves as an impressive receiver duo with 60 catches, 859 yards and six touchdowns combined.   Matt Patricia said after the game that the team will focus on improvements during their upcoming bye week.  "It's really a big week to make sure we're doing things we need to do the right way and get back to some fundamental technique work, which through the course of the first part of the season tends to get put on the back burner a little bit," Patricia said.):   https://247sports.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/ContentGallery/NFL-offensive-scoring-rankings-2018-121722415/#121722415_9

Kenny Golladay, Robby Anderson turn in outstanding performances in Week 5:   https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-kenny-golladay-robby-anderson-turn-in-outstanding-performances-in-week-5

Week 5 NFL Team of the Week (FLEX OFFENSE - Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions – 89.6:  Golladay was targeted nine times in the Lions win over the Packers, the fourth time in five games where he has been targeted at least seven times, and the fifth game in a row this season where he has picked up at least four receptions. He had a ridiculously athletic reception downfield where he then shrugged off the Packers defensive back, once again highlighting his big-play ability.):   https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-week-5-nfl-team-of-the-week

$.10 After NFL Week 5 ($.06--One of the harder parts of this job and of covering professional athletes for a living is when serious injuries happen. None are worse than concussions. We all have seen too frequently the guys who struggle with post-football life due to the brain injuries.   Lions right guard T.J. Lang suffered a particularly nasty concussion in Detroit’s Week 4 loss in Dallas. He and Cowboys LB Jaylon Smith inadvertently rammed heads together in the course of trying to do their jobs. Lang doubled over and sat on his knees, hands over his head with the forehead on the ground, for several minutes. When the cameras showed him getting up, Lang’s eyes were both watery and empty-looking.  It was at least his sixth career concussion, by his own admission. Lang is 31 and has also dealt with recurring back issues over the course of his Packers and Lions career. This concussion should be his last. Lang needs to realize that he has a long post-football life and that life needs to be vibrant and healthy, not confused and loaded on pain meds. He’s an excellent talker and has a bright future in the media if he chooses.  I think of C.J. Fiedorowicz, the Texans tight end who mercifully called it a career after 3 concussions in less than a year. I used to chastise guys who did that. Now I applaud them. Here’s hoping it’s time to clap for T.J. Lang one last time.):   https://football.realgm.com/analysis/3076/$10-After-NFL-Week-5
