The Detroit Lions went to MetLife Stadium and stunned the New York Giants 31-18 for their third win in a row, thanks to their young defense and wily veteran Jamaal Williams, who had a historic day.

DETROIT -- After a two-week trial, the Detroit Lions have decided to pay for their Netflix subscription. Reynolds’ late-season emergence has become one of the best stories of the year for the Lions. On just his third carry, Reynolds ripped through the Broncos’ defense and evaded two tacklers before getting tackled 35 yards downfield. That set up an early touchdown, which helped keep Detroit in the game until the second half, and Reynolds finished with a team-high 99 yards from scrimmage overall. You deserve the recognition, you deserve to play well because you’re running the hell out of the ball.
