Three big winners from Lions' preseason opener: https://www.audacy.com/971theticket/sports/detroit-lions/three-big-winners-from-detroit-lions-preseason-opener
NFL preseason Week 1 takeaways: Jordan Love impressive for Packers (Lions: All eyes were on wide receiver Jameson Williams during his first preseason game as he experienced a few highs and lows. As promised, Lions head coach Dan Campbell gave the 2021 No. 12 overall pick a ton of reps while he serves a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy. He delivered on a one-handed, two-point conversion reception after a 95-yard punt return touchdown by Maurice Alexander in the third quarter. However, on Detroit's opening possession, backup quarterback Nate Sudfeld was picked off on a deep right pass intended for Williams by Giants safety Jason Pinnock. Sudfeld also tried to find Williams on another deep play in the first quarter, but they were out of sync as Williams cut to the middle of the field as the pass was thrown up the left side. Overall, Williams was targeted seven times, with two catches for 18 yards, including a deep-ball drop at 5:50 in the first quarter that prompted light boos from the stands. After a couple of joint practices with Giants during the week, the Lions rested many of their starters including quarterback Jared Goff, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson. -- Eric Woodyard): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38163086/nfl-preseason-2023-week-1-august-10-13-takeaways-schedule-highlights
NFL Scores Today: Highlights, Winners, and Losers From Friday’s Preseason Games (New York Giants vs. Detroit Lions: Jahmyr Gibbs Gives Us a Glimpse, Sam LaPorta Falls Flat
FINAL SCORE: Lions 21, Giants 16. Winner | Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs - Critics who feel that Jahmyr Gibbs is overhyped will point to the rookie’s relative struggle in the running game. Nineteen yards on six carries isn’t anything to write home about. However, I come away encouraged because we saw what Gibbs can do in the receiving game. Gibbs only had one catch, but he looked quick as a hiccup as he gained 18 yards on the reception. Gibbs is on pace to become one of the more versatile weapons out of the backfield in the NFL. Loser | Lions TE Sam LaPorta - Sam LaPorta has been the most hyped-up player on the Lions roster this offseason. LaPorta was not a factor in this one, going without a catch and only garnering one target in his preseason debut. There will be better days for the rookie TE, but perhaps tonight was a reminder to temper our expectations for rookie tight ends. Winner | Lions WR Jameson Williams - The bad news: Jameson Williams had a huge drop on what would have been a big play for the Lions. He only caught two passes for 18 yards. Some may look at this as a rough night for the second-year receiver, but I see positive signs here. Williams was the most targeted receiver with seven. The Lions seem fully committed to him, and he offers that game-breaking ability. It certainly appears that Williams is a big part of the Lions’ offense moving forward.): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-scores-today-highlights-preseason-2023-trends/
