NFL Stock Watch: Jalen Hurts makes MVP statement; Bill Belichick, Patriots hit new low (STOCK DOWN - Detroit Lions:  The Lions lost to the Packers on Thanksgiving after needing a late comeback against the Bears the previous week. Just a few weeks ago, there was discussion about them being a viable No. 1 seed in the NFC conference. While the Lions are still having an outstanding season, seven of their eight wins are against teams with a losing record. The one team they've beaten with a winning record was the Chiefs all the way back in Week 1 when Kansas City's wide receivers failed Patrick Mahomes. The Lions lost to the Seahawks at home and were blown out by the Ravens in the two other games against teams with a winning record. It feels fair to lump them with the Dolphins and Cowboys as above-average teams that I don't trust in the playoffs against better competition. They beat the bad teams and lose to the good ones.):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/jalen-hurts-mvp-statement-bill-belichick-patriots-hit-new-low

FMIA Week 12: Jason Kelce’s ‘Any Given Sunday’ and Philly’s Rocky Balboa Season (10 Things I Think I Think - 8. I think the Lions are regressing, which is an odd thing to say about an 8-3 team. But they can’t get defensive stops the way they did early in the year. I thought after last week, with the three picks thrown by Jared Goff, that it was a fluke event. But it’s worrisome that the Lions have turned it over 11 times in the last five games after turning it over six times in the first six. They’ve given up 29.0 points per games over the last five games. The massive comeback against Chicago may have been a mirage. 9. I think when you give up 38, 14, 38, 26 and 29 points over five games, that’s not going to put you in league with Philadelphia and San Francisco. I found myself wondering on Thanksgiving whether GM Brad Holmes will regret not going hard after a pass-rusher to bookend with Aidan Hutchinson down the stretch, or maybe corner depth; it’s one thing to get strafed by Justin Herbert, but another to get torched by Jordan Love.):  https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/fmia/news/nfl-jason-kelce-philadelphia-eagles-atlanta-falcons-peter-king-fmia-week-12

32 things we learned in NFL Week 12: Playoff chase will be wild (29. The Lions remain atop the NFC North and on track to win it for the first time. But maybe it's time to surrender their Thanksgiving tradition given they've lost seven straight on Turkey Day.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2023/11/26/nfl-takeaways-playoff-chase-shaping-up-to-be-wild-after-week-12/71712653007/
