Biggest need for every playoff team: Miami loses edge (Lions: Cornerback - Projected key free agents: OG Jonah Jackson, S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, CB Emmanuel Moseley, QB Teddy Bridgewater, EDGE Romeo Okwara, WR Donovan Peoples-Jones. Detroit addressed the position during free agency, but that group has a lower ceiling than most other teams. According to TruMedia, the Lions have allowed a 91.5 opposing quarterback rating, which ranks in the bottom half of the league. Emmanuel Moseley has been on injured reserve for quite some time. The good news is that Chauncey Gardner-Johnson recently made his return to the field and that should help. The team also added defensive tackle Alim McNeill late in the season, which creates a gaping void at the heart of the defense. Levi Onwuzurike and Benito Jones are next men up.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/every-nfl-playoff-teams-biggest-need-how-dolphins-replace-edge-rushers-bradley-chubb-andrew-van-ginkel/

Stafford, Watson and Lance: 3 trades that helped shape this postseason in a variety of ways (THE DEAL - After the 2020 season, Detroit sent QB Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams for QB Jared Goff, a 2021 third-round pick and first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. THE AFTERMATH - The Lions used that third-rounder on DB Ifeatu Melifonwu. They traded the 2022 first-rounder they received (No. 32) along with 2022 second- and third-rounders to Minnesota for a first-round pick (No. 12) and second-rounder that year. Then Detroit took WR Jameson Williams at No. 12. The first-rounder Detroit received from the Rams in 2023 was No. 6. The Lions traded down from there to No. 12 and received a second-round pick from Arizona in the process. They took RB Jahmyr Gibbs at No. 12 and then added TE Sam LaPorta with the second-rounder they got from the Cardinals. THE VERDICT - A pretty clear win-win, although it’s one that could come back to haunt Detroit if Stafford knocks the Lions out of the playoffs this weekend. The Rams won a Super Bowl in Stafford’s first season with the team, and he now has them back in the playoffs and looking dangerous. Goff has performed well enough in Detroit to give the Lions their first division title in 30 years. They’ve also drafted some solid offensive threats in Williams, Gibbs and LaPorta with picks related to this trade.): https://apnews.com/article/nfl-playoffs-stafford-goff-watson-lance-trades-e058e9aea3ec079c461d5309703e603a
