Tabasco shots, baths and gross gloves: The best rituals and superstitions on all 32 NFL teams (Detroit Lions - Kenny Golladay sticks to pregame catch routine: Golladay doesn't call it a superstition, but the Lions' top receiver does have a pregame routine, going through an intentional catch circuit to get ready -- something he started in the pros. "Pretty much catching the ball from each angle, you know, high ball, low ball, just out of the framework of your body so that way when that ball comes up on you during the game, it isn't new to you," Golladay said. He does between eight and 10 reps in each spot to get his hands warmed up and ready. To do this, he enlists the help of former South Carolina quarterback Dylan Thompson -- now Detroit's character coach. This is something Golladay started last season after he felt through what he wanted his pregame routine to be his rookie year. -- Michael Rothstein): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27699107/tabasco-shots-baths-gross-gloves-best-rituals-superstitions-all-32-nfl-teams

Four September NFL Games That Could Shape the Playoff Picture (Week 1: Lions 27, Cardinals 27 - The Lions were one of the NFL's handful of unbeatens before they lost in a tightly-contested matchup with Kansas City last week. You'd be hard-pressed to call them "perfect", however, especially after Week 1's unusual case. Even Detroit decency can't be unblemished by typical silliness. In an opening weekend visit to Glendale, the Lions blew a 17-0 lead before outlasting Arizona in overtime for a tie that felt more like a loss. They went on to make up for the Week 1 heartbreak with inspiring wins against contenders from Philadelphia and Los Angeles, and next find themselves in a head-to-head battle with Green Bay after a bye week. Assuming they keep up the pace, how large will that tie loom in the future? Just last season, a tie kept the Lions' Northern brethren from Minnesota out of the wild card spot, as an 8-7-1 tally was no match for the 9-7 accumulated by Philadelphia. The Lions are already on the outside looking in of the current playoff picture, a half-game behind a group of 3-1 teams.): https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/nfl-playoff-picture-september-games-01dp6wjkncsn

NFL Rookie Rankings: Josh Jacobs tops the list, Kyler Murray isn't on it (9. T.J. Hockenson, TE, Detroit Lions (Stats: 11 catches, 166 yards, 2 TDs. Drafted: No. 8 overall): Hockenson set a rookie record in Week 1 for most receiving yards by a tight end in a debut (131) and looked like he might shake the trend of rookie tight ends getting off to slow starts. Defenses focused on him more over the next three weeks, but he still is a valuable part of Detroit's offense, particularly on third down and in the red zone. Hockenson has been everything Detroit wanted and instantly upgraded the position from a year ago. The bigger concern is his immediate future, as a brutal concussion suffered in Week 4 left him in protocol with an undetermined timetable of when he'll return. -- Michael Rothstein): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27742828/nfl-rookie-rankings-josh-jacobs-tops-list-kyler-murray-it
