Walker wins first NFL start as Panthers blank Lions 20-0

P.J. Walker threw for 258 yards and a touchdown in his first NFL start, the much-maligned Carolina defense earned its first shutout since 2015 and the Panthers defeated the Detroit Lions 20-0 on Sunday to snap a five-game losing streak.

Stafford cleared to play, can't finish Lions' 34-20 loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford spent the practice week in COVID-19 protocols, not getting on the field with his team and unsure he would be able to suit up for Sunday’s game in Minnesota.

Lions get ran over by Dalvin Cook, fall hard to the Vikings, 34-20

After watching the first quarter against the Vikings, I thought that the Lions had no chance.... after all, Minnesota came right out and piled on 13 points, and with Detroit missing Kenny Golladay, I didn't see a way back for the team... but  give Matthew Stafford credit.. A Matt Prater 23 yard field goal and then a 15 yard strike from Stafford to Marvin Jones had the Lions right back in it at 13-10..... For many Lions fans, confidence was returning but the defense would have to step up and get some stops...
