Best, worst of NFL Week 10: Walk-offs galore, 49ers bounce back, Kyler impresses in return (Lions:  Who deserves to be Detroit's RB1 going forward? When both guys are rolling, who cares? David Montgomery got the start after missing the past two games (ribs), but rookie Jahmyr Gibbs continued to heat up with more experience. Gibbs scored two touchdowns while Montgomery broke off a 75-yard touchdown in the first half. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is trying to find ways to split their workload but described it as "a good problem to have right now."  Stock up after the win: WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. The California native put on a show in his return to Los Angeles, becoming the first Lions player since Calvin Johnson to record four straight games of at least 100 receiving yards (Johnson did it eight times in 2012). He ended with a career-best 156 yards on eight receptions. He also scored a touchdown.  Stock down after the win: Red zone offense. The Lions came into Sunday ranking 24th in red zone touchdown percentage (48.4%). They missed out on two touchdown opportunities at the goal line in the first half that could've given them a comfortable lead entering halftime. On their opening drive, a penalty nullified a 10-yard Jameson Williams touchdown catch, and they failed to convert on a fourth-and-1 on the goal line to start the second quarter. -- Eric Woodyard):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38848252/nfl-week-10-2023-questions-risers-fallers-takeaways-lessons-stats

WEEK 10 Winners and losers: Texans' future bright (Winner: Dan Campbell.  The Lions got shown up against the Ravens a few weeks back, spoiling their brief effort to be considered the NFC's most balanced contender. They've rebuilt that goodwill, with Sunday's shootout win over the Chargers confirming they still belong in the class of the conference. On a day Justin Herbert threw four scores to keep L.A. moving, Campbell's aggressive fourth-down strategy and late-game management enabled Jared Goff and Co. to come out on top. The Detroit Lions are 7-2!):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2023-nfl-week-10-winners-and-losers-texans-future-is-mighty-bright-and-minnesota-loves-joshua-dobbs/

32 things we learned in NFL Week 10: Rookie QB taking league by storm (6. The Lions no longer have the league’s worst defense, though Sunday served up an unwanted flashback after they gave up 38 points to the Los Angeles Chargers. But no problem – even on the road – as the NFC North leaders hung on for a 41-38 win that pulled them one game behind the idle Philadelphia Eagles – they’re about to face Kansas City, Buffalo, San Francisco, Dallas and Seattle in succession – in the race for the conference’s No. 1 playoff seed.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2023/11/12/nfl-takeaways-cj-stroud-dallas-cowboys-week-10/71563898007/

NFL Week 10 Winners and Losers: Josh Dobbs and the Vikings Win Again, 49ers Get Back on Track, Ravens and Bengals Losses Shake Up... (Winner | Dan Campbell’s Coach of the Year Odds:  Dan Campbell was already the betting favorite for Coach of the Year before Week 10, but the Detroit Lions’ close win over the Los Angeles Chargers should only solidify his standing in the race.  Campbell, arguably the NFL’s best game management head coach, let the Lions attempt four fourth-conversions on Sunday. Detroit was successful on three, none more significant than a Jared Goff-to-Sam-LaPorta pass on 4th-and-2 that forced the Chargers to use their final timeout and let the Lions kick a game-winning field goal as time expired.  Detroit is getting healthy, with RB David Montgomery and OL Jonah Jackson and Frank Ragnow among the Lions making their returns this week. That’s bad news for the rest of the NFC.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-week-10-winners-losers-2023/


Grades:

CBS Week 10 grades: Cards get 'B' as Kyler wins 2023 debut (Lions Grade:  A  The Lions keep proving they deserve to be amongst the NFL's elite, winning a 41-38 shootout against Justin Herbert and the Chargers. Detroit put up 533 yards of offense in the win, including 200 yards rushing. The Lions averaged 8.3 yards per play, but the more impressive feat was going for it on fourth down five times -- and converting four of them. Detroit scored on six of eight possessions (not counting end of half) and is getting plenty of production from its offensive rookies -- mainly Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta -- and Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to look unstoppable. The Lions are a contender in the NFC, period.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-10-grades-lions-earn-a-for-thrilling-win-vs-chargers-cards-get-b-in-kyler-murrays-2023-debut/
