32 NFL observations after Week 17: Micah Parsons' pass-rush dominance, Travis Etienne's elusiveness and more (DETROIT LIONS: Of all tackles to pass block at least 400 times, Penei Sewell has the best pass-blocking efficiency score. His 98.4 number came after allowing one sack, five hits and 12 hurries across a staggering 606 snaps. Not bad for a guy who also had the highest run-blocking grade of all tackles.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-32-nfl-observations-after-week-17-micah-parsons-pass-rush-dominance-travis-etiennes-elusiveness-and-more
Week 18 QB Power Rankings: Jordan Love nears top five (11. Jared Goff DETROIT LIONS QB: If not for their trickery late against Dallas, which saw the officials erase a perfectly executed walk-off score, he and the Lions might be trending upward as road contenders. Goff's challenge will be staying calm if/when more pressure comes.

NFL RB Index, Week 18: Three teams whose 2024 starting RB isn't on the current roster (4. David Montgomery (2023 stats: 13 games | 209 att | 975 rush yds | 4.7 ypc | 12 rush TD | 16 rec | 117 rec yds | 0 rec TD | 1 fumble lost): The Lions missed numerous blocks that let Dallas defenders into the backfield -- and the team still managed to rack up 125 yards on the ground. David Montgomery led the way Saturday night with 14 carries for 65 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown run that capped a 7-minute, 23-second drive. Cleaning up some of the blocking in the run game (Sam LaPorta, I’m looking at you) will make this Lions offense a nightmare in the postseason.5. Jahmyr Gibbs Detroit Lions · Rookie (2023 stats: 14 games | 169 att | 915 rush yds | 5.4 ypc | 9 rush TD | 52 rec | 316 rec yds | 1 rec TD | 1 fumble lost): Jahmyr Gibbs got off to a slow start Saturday, missing his first target on the Lions’ first possession. However, he made several big plays several drives later, with back-to-back runs of 11 and 17 yards after Detroit converted a fake punt deep in its own territory. The rookie is closing in on 1,000 rush yards -- but if he's going to get there, he'll have to do it against Minnesota’s top-10 run defense in Week 18.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-rb-index-week-18-three-teams-whose-2024-starting-rb-isn-t-on-the-current-ros
