NFL Week 16 PFF ReFocused: Denver Broncos 27, Detroit Lions 17: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-16-pff-refocused-denver-broncos-27-detroit-lions-17
What we learned from Sunday's Week 16 games (Denver Broncos 27, Detroit Lions 17: 1. This one was for pride, and both teams played with it. The Lions jumped out to a 10-0 lead following a 64-yard punt return for a touchdown by Jamal Agnew. Denver tied it by halftime, before the two teams traded leads in the second half. Too much Phillip Lindsay ultimately proved to be the difference. He rushed for 64 yards after the break and 109 overall. His 27-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter made it a two-possession game. A Lions offense that produced just 191 yards wasn't going to overcome that. 2. Drew Lock has won again. He was fairly responsible for it too. The rookie quarterback was more solid than stellar in his fourth start, completing 25 of 33 passes for 192 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. Denver (6-9) had just three wins through the first 11 games of the season. It's won three of four with Lock as the starter. He's certainly given John Elway something to ponder as the Broncos face another offseason with questions about their long-term plans at QB. 3. Sometimes when you lose, you win. The Lions (3-11-1) enter the final week of the regular season positioned to draft third overall in 2020. They have a chance to earn the second pick with a loss to the Packers next week and a Redskins win over the Cowboys. Lions owner Martha Firestone Ford opened this past week declaring second-year coach Matt Patricia and GM Bob Quinn would be back next season. She also said she expects to be a playoff contender. Building through the draft is vital for a team that needs more talent and isn't always able to attract top free agents. -- Adam Maya): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001090755/article/what-we-learned-from-sundays-week-16-games

People Who Root for Draft Position: Are lame. Sorry. You only get 16 games a year. Root for your team to win.

CBS Grades (Lions - C: When you have to start your third-string quarterback against the Broncos defense, things can get ugly quickly, and the Lions found that out the hard way in this loss. With David Blough running the offense, the Lions managed to scrape out just 191 yards of total offense, which was the team's lowest offensive output since 2010. Blough, who threw for just 117 yards, never really had a chance to get anything going while up against a Broncos defense that sacked him four times. Although this game was tied at halftime, that wasn't because of Blough and the offense; it was because Jamal Agnew came up with a huge play in the second quarter when he returned a punt 64 yards for a touchdown.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-16-grades-steelers-get-an-f-for-backbreaking-loss-ravens-get-an-a-for-beating-down-browns/
