Big questions, risers from NFL Week 3: Dolphins' elite offense, Bills' dominant win and big issues for Jets (Lions - Are we finally seeing the Lions' pass-rushing power? The pass rush posted a single sack in the first two weeks but looked much sharper versus Atlanta. In the first quarter, Detroit wasted little time, as linebacker Derrick Barnes and defensive lineman Benito Jones registered back-to-back sacks. The Lions would end with seven total sacks on Atlanta quarterback Desmond Ridder, with two by Aidan Hutchinson in addition to Charles Harris, Alim McNeill and rookie Jack Campbell registering hits. They'll need another big lift from the defense when they head to Lambeau Field for a Thursday night game in Green Bay.  Stock up after the win: TE Sam LaPorta. The rookie became the first tight end to catch five or more receptions in each of his first three career games since the NFL-AFL merger, totaling a season-high eight receptions for 84 yards. He also scored his first career touchdown off a 45-yard pass from Jared Goff.  Stock down after the win: OL Penei Sewell. The Lions racked up 10 penalties for 119 yards, including two offensive holding flags by the former Pro Bowler Sewell. Against better teams, those mistakes could prove costly. -- Eric Woodyard):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38447750/nfl-week-3-2023-questions-risers-fallers-takeaways-lessons-stats
