NFL Week 3: Team of the Week & Player Awards (LG: Christian Mahogany, Detroit Lions.  OFFENSIVE LINE OF THE WEEK: DETROIT LIONS:  The Lions had an impressive day up front against the New York Jets, with three starters — left tackle Penei Sewell, left guard Christian Mahogany and right guard Tate Ratledge — not allowing a single pressure.

Deebo Samuel 49ers Cardinals -!Every Sunday night, I get an email from our research department here at CBS Sports, and every Sunday, that email always includes some amazingly wild stats about the games that were just played.  With that in mind, here are 10 crazy stats from Week 3:  6. Lions join rare company. With 31 points on Sunday, the Lions have topped 30 points in each of their first three games, but they've also been outscored 95-93 on the season. That makes them just the second team in NFL history -- joining the 1994 Patriots -- to score at least 30 points in each of their first three games and still have a negative point differential.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-3-winners-and-losers-plus-j-j-mccarthy-dealt-to-giants-and-eagles-bears-picks-for-monday-night/

$.10 After NFL Week 3 (My Lions are 2-1 after a pretty impressive performance in beating the Jets, 31-24. Detroit has scored exactly 31 points in all three games with new OC Drew Petzing.
