By Mark Halpern In a weekend filled with upsets, the Detroit Lions team and fans weren’t upset. The Lions pulled off a monstrous win, but with all the eyes on the Jets beating the Eagles, the Browns beating the 49ers, or even the way Miami dismembered the Panthers, the Lions win was not heavily discussed.Continue reading “LOUD WHISPER”

CHARGED UP
By Mark Halpern Last week, the Cowboys got dismantled by the 49ers. I think my colleague Mike Rifkin said it right when he changed the title of my article from last week from “Gold Duged” to “Exposed?” He has a valid point: the 49ers walked all over the Defense, and the 49ers defense walked allContinue reading “CHARGED UP”
DISTANCING THEMSELVES
By Mark Halpern If the first five weeks tell us anything, it starts to showcase the Division leaders and potential winners.

JUNGLE RULERS
BY Mark Halpern The Lions faced the Carolina Panthers this past weekend, and from the kickoff, it was all about the Lions.

Goff hadContinue reading “JUNGLE RULERS”

Brock Purdy led a touchdown drive on the first drive and was perfect 4/4 and a TD. What did Dak do on the first drive? HeContinue reading “Exposed?”
RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE
by Mark Halpern Once a week, you can make a metaphor about a game being played. The Lions will face off against the Panthers Sunday in what should be another chance to show why they are Kings of the Jungle cats when they face a team’s 0-4 kittens. The Lions have had a great startContinue reading “RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE”
Giant Bounce Back
By Mike Rifkin One week after putting up 70 points, the Miami Dolphins gave up 48 to the Buffalo Bills. The Bills’ defense was the first to give the Dolphins issues, but they could still put up 20 points. Now the Dolphins return home to play the New York Giants, who have been struggling, andContinue reading “Giant Bounce Back”
NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME PREVIEW
By Mark Halpern Few matchups in the NFL are considered legendary matchups. One of those matchups this Sunday is the Dallas Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers. No love is lost for these teams as they have faced off plenty during the regular season, but their matchups in the playoffs set this rivalry apartContinue reading “NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME PREVIEW “
