NFL Week 14: Team of the Week & Player Awards (EDGE: Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-14-team-of-the-week-player-awards

NFL Week 14: Highest-graded plays of the week (One of Aidan Hutchinson’s nine pressures - While Al-Quadin Muhammad records the sack on this play, Hutchinson wins off the edge as well, beating the right tackle instantly with a sharp spin move. A win this quick and decisive earned him a +1.5 PFF grade on the rep.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-14-highest-graded-plays-of-the-week

2025 NFL MVP race: Case for and against top 8 candidates entering Week 15 (THREE UP - 2. Detroit Lions DEFENSE:  Detroit faced a major challenge in a Thursday night matchup with the Cowboys, who possessed one of the hottest offenses in football. The Lions responded by showing people why they’ve won the NFC North the last two seasons. Detroit sacked Dak Prescott five times -- the Lions only had four sacks over their previous four games -- and pressured him on 20 pass attempts. This is a defense that already had lost cornerback Terrion Arnold to a season-ending injury and will now be without safety Brian Branch, who tore his Achilles in that win over Dallas. In other words, the Lions defense displayed the kind of grit that this franchise always preaches.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/cases-for-against-top-eight-nfl-mvp-candidates-who-s-up-down-entering-week-15

NFL Week 14 Team of the Week: Josh Allen and Puka Nacua Headline Squad (RB: Jahmyr Gibbs, Lions - You could make a case for the Rams' Blake Corum just as a "Gosh, it'd be nice to have some new faces on here," but Gibbs was huge in Thursday's Lions win over the Cowboys, rushing for three touchdowns and adding 77 receiving yards to finish with 130 yards from scrimmage. He's maintaining a ridiculous rushing average and getting more and more involved in the pass game, as well.   Gibbs going to make a crazy amount of money as the Lions try to figure out how to extend all their outstanding 2023 draft picks.  DL: Al-Quadin Muhammad, Lions - It's been a nice breakout year for Muhammad, who is on his fourth NFL team and 30 years old, as he's now one sack away from his first double-digit season. Muhammad had three in Thursday's win over Dallas, giving him more sacks this season than Aidan Hutchinson (8.5) now has.  It's wild to think he's part of that insane 2017 Saints draft that produced Alvin Kamara, Trey Hendrickson, Marshon Lattimore and others. Alas, he left the Saints after four games and zero sacks.  LB: Jack Campbell, Lions - Back to that Detroit 2023 draft class.  Campbell had 12 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in Thursday's win over Dallas, and he's making a strong case for a Pro Bowl nod. Two more tackles and he has a career high, and he already has five sacks after totaling 3.5 in his first two seasons. One forced fumble in his first two seasons, three this year.   He, like his teammates, will get paid handsomely.):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-week-14-team-week-josh-allen-puka-nacua-headline-squad

Week 14 NFL Takeaways: How the Jaguars Achieved Their New Reality Under Liam Coen (The Lions’ 44–30 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night is a perfect embodiment of how the NFL is a week-to-week league—and why so many declarative statements made on Monday mornings (maybe even in this space, on occasion) wind up looking very dumb.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/week-14-nfl-takeaways-how-jaguars-achieved-new-reality
