Lions' Grades: CeeDee Lamb Runs Wild on Secondary:  https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/lions-grades-ceedee-lamb-runs-wild

CBS (Lions Grade:  B.  The Lions certainly got hosed over by the officiating crew in this game, but they can't put all the blame there. The Lions could have blown this game open, but they made way too many mistakes on offense, starting with two interceptions from Jared Goff. Not only that, but they couldn't convert a third down -- they went just 4-of-13 -- and they had a failed fourth down at the Cowboys' 4-yard line in a situation where a field goal might have made sense. Also, after getting controversially flagged on their 2-point try at the end of the game, Dan Campbell probably should have just settled for the extra point. This felt like a playoff game and the Lions played well enough to win, so that part should have them feeling good as they head into the postseason.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-17-grades-steelers-earn-an-a-as-offense-explodes-again-eagles-get-f-for-shocking-loss-to-cards/
