NFL Game Recaps: Week 17 (Lions 40, 49ers 34:  It was unclear if the Lions would play their starters in this meaningless game. There was some belief that Dan Campbell would use his starters for the half and then bench them after intermission. A large gambling syndacite thought this would occur, as it unloaded on the Lions first-half spread.  This was absolutely incorrect, with Detroit’s first-stringers playing the entire game. The Lions didn’t even play well in the opening half, as their defense couldn’t stop Brock Purdy. The San Francisco quarterback was 14-of-16 in the opening half, and he scored on every single possession, save for the final one prior to halftime when a long field goal was missed. The Lions also had an explosive offensive performance, though they stalled on one occasion in the red zone.  The 49ers entered the third quarter with a 21-13 lead, and it looked like it was going to be a long night for Detroit’s defense, especially when the 49ers scored on the opening offensive drive of the second half. This, however, was the final time the 49ers would score until garbage time. The Lions intercepted Purdy twice, including once deep in Detroit territory. The Lions’ offense, meanwhile, continued to thrive. When Jahmyr Gibbs broke free for a 30-yard touchdown, the Lions notched 40 points, making this an unusual NFL game in which there were 10 total touchdowns and zero punts.  The Lions are fortunate that they didn’t suffer any injuries in this game. Amon-Ra St. Brown seemed to get hurt on one occasion, but he turned out to be OK. Still, Detroit remained unscathed and perhaps built some confidence heading into next week’s big game.  Purdy suffered a wrist injury on the final drive of the game. He tried to throw on the sidelines, but gave up after two light tosses. Joshua Dobbs may start the season finale next week.):  https://walterfootball.com/nflreview.php
