Micah Parsons Tops List of Best NFL Closers (Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions - Hutchinson came up short against the Packers, but he helped close the door on the Cowboys on Thursday night. According to Next Gen Stats, he had 10 pressures in the game and seven in the fourth quarter. Hutchinson has 10 more pressures in the fourth quarter than any other player this season.  For the Lions to reach the playoffs, they’ll need more out of their defense and that starts with Hutchinson. Detroit’s D ranks No. 16 overall; it has struggled lately. But against the Cowboys, Hutchinson helped create opportunities for the rest of the defensive line and they sacked Dak Prescott five times.  Last year Hutchinson appeared to be on his way to winning Defensive Player of the Year before breaking his leg. His injury gutted the Lions’ Super Bowl chances. Now they have major health issues on offense. Which means more pressure on Hutchinson and a defense that needs to step up, starting next week with a challenging matchup against the Rams.):  https://athlonsports.com/nfl/micah-parsons-best-nfl-closers-packers-bonitto-bosa-anderson-verse

NFL Game Recaps: Week 14, 2025 (Lions 44, Cowboys 30:  Dallas entered this game as one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Nearly 80 percent of the public was on the Cowboys, but perhaps expectations were high even though they were 3.5-point underdogs. The Cowboys were dreadful on both sides of the ball in a must-win game against the Lions. The incompetence of the Cowboys’ defense can be seen on the scoreboard. The Lions did whatever they pleased offensively. It helped that Amon-Ra St. Brown was a surprise active, but Jared Goff torched Dallas’ secondary mercilessly. This was more apparent than ever when the Cowboys trimmed the margin to 37-30 at the very end. The Cowboys needed a stop without three minutes remaining, but on second-and-long, Goff ripped a long connection to St. Brown to effectively ice the game.  No one would have been shocked by the Cowboys struggling defensively, but the offense was a mess as well, despite the 30-point output. Dak Prescott was pressued heavily throughout the game. He took four sacks and constantly had defenders flood his backfield. He nearly took a safety on one play early in the game. Meanwhile, his teammates made mistakes. Jake Ferguson lost a fumble and was flagged for offensive pass interference. George Pickens had the ball deflect out of his hands for an interception. Ryan Flournoy, who enjoyed a great game, had the ball ripped out of his hands on the final real play from scrimmage, which turned into an interception. This was a painful loss for the Cowboys, who weren’t even guaranteed a playoff spot if they ran the table. They’ll need lots of help in the final four weeks of the season.):  https://walterfootball.com/nflreview.php
