They came out and played really hard and played well.”Cardinals QB Kyler Murray on his feelings after this one: “Different, obviously, in a game where you feel like you come in and win. He’s really starting to learn. He played today at left guard. So hopefully we can continue to do that because I don’t think as a line, we’ve played our best game.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions led the Arizona Cardinals 17-3 about midway through the third quarter with the ball near midfield when an all-too-familiar feeling set in. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray dropped back two snaps later, looking to his left before turning back right, throwing one to the sideline for veteran receiver A.J. The Lions scored on the next play, with quarterback Jared Goff hitting Jason Cabinda on the easy touchdown pass. Unfortunately, Godwin had the fumble, but Amani having the interception and bringing it all the way back down there, that’s how you win games. “Any quarterback that’s getting sacked that many times is gonna be frustrated,” Oruwariye said.

DETROIT -- Tracy Walker won’t play after all.

(AP Photo/Adrian Kraus)ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Leslie Frazier’s faith in his Bills defense never wavered even at the lowest point of Buffalo’s season. It was mid-November and the Bills were entering their bye week on the heels of a 32-30 defeat at Arizona. In the NFC, the Packers are allowing an average 306 yards offense over their past seven outings.

The first tripleheader of NFL wild-card games saw Tom Brady extend his postseason record for victories to 31 with a 31-23 win for Tampa Bay at Washington on Saturday. After a quarter-century, the Bills got one of those triumphs that Brady collects — and they even figured out how to stop a Hail Mary. The previous playoff win was over Miami on Dec. 30, 1995. And it came in the Bills’ first home playoff game in 24 years, with a limited number of fans in attendance (6,700) for the first time this season. The Ravens averaged an NFL-best 191.9 yards rushing per game and their 3,071 yards rushing were third highest in NFL history.

And though Wolford capably did his part, everybody in the Rams' jubilant locker room realized they owed this achievement to a dominant defense that scored as many points as the Rams' offense — and a couple more than the Arizona Cardinals — in Los Angeles' 18-7 victory Sunday. Wolford passed for 231 yards and rushed for 56 more, producing many moments of excitement in place of injured Jared Goff. Wolford racked up 47 yards rushing in the first half — more than Goff managed in any game of his five-year career.

The first matchup between these two team was just a month ago, with the Rams picking up the win, 38-28. The Rams offense will look a little different this week behind backup quarterback John Wolford. The Rams offense has struggled of late despite having one of the NFL’s better units.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions are back in the win column for the first time in 11 months but are once again underdogs heading into Week 4. Detroit will host the New Orleans Saints this Sunday at a fan-less Ford Field. The Lions have a chance to get back to .500 heading into their Week 5 bye. Saints running back Alvin Kamara took over as the team’s primary pass-catcher last week, catching 13 passes for 139 yards with two touchdowns. From that standpoint, love to win, love it.

The Detroit Lions made key adjustments on defense in the team’s first win on Sunday, resulting in a more effective pass rush and three takeaways to boot. “The DBs -- they did a really good job all game, all day yesterday. We did a really good job of executing yesterday as a team. “They made some really good calls out there on the field, and I thought that was great. "These guys work really hard.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The deck was stacked against Jeff Okudah in his NFL debut against Green Bay, and he struggled with the assignment. So you’ll have to excuse him for taking a victory lap after picking off Kyler Murray in the 26-23 win on Sunday in Arizona. “I was tired of being disrespected by everyone,” Okudah said by Zoom after the win here at State Farm Stadium. Okudah moved to right cornerback for the game, after playing almost exclusively on the left side in his debut. Okudah also left the game twice, and drew the ire of Matt Patricia for pulling himself after a third-quarter run.

It was the kind of moment that had stymied the Detroit Lions so many times during their 11-game losing streak: A potential game-winning play, a gut-punch penalty that reversed it, and the realization that nothing was going to come easy. Prater made his 15th game-winning kick with less than 2 minutes to play in the fourth quarter or overtime. Six plays later, the Lions took a 10-7 lead when Stafford hit Jesse James for a 5-yard score. The 35-year-old Peterson, who is in his 14th NFL season, played six games for the Cardinals in 2017. The Cardinals went ahead 7-3 when Murray’s perfectly placed, the high-arcing throw went over two Detroit defenders and into Isabella’s hands.

But it was Arizona making the skull-crushing mistakes for once, drawing a flag for interfering with T.J. Hockenson on the next play. Stafford chunked passes to Golladay and Marvin Jones, Prater did Matt Prater things, and the Lions found a way to do enough to prevail anyway. The Lions were one of just two teams without a takeaway the first two weeks of the season, but finally broke through in Arizona. -- The Lions have had their share of issues all over the field this season, but that doesn’t include punter. The entire Arizona team remained in the tunnel, much like Green Bay did last week and Chicago in the opener.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions are still looking for their first win of the season, and it doesn’t get any easier in Week 3. The Lions lost to the Packers 42-21 last week, allowing a career day to running back Aaron Jones. Lions cornerback Desmond Trufant is doubtful to play for the second consecutive week with a hamstring injury. The fifth-round rookie had a team-high 10 targets in Week 1, the most among all rookies, and stayed involved last week. Cephus has six catches for 97 yards and has played at least 66% of the offensive snaps in each game.

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has an intriguing personality, mixing introverted tendencies with supreme confidence that has helped Arizona push to a 2-0 start for the first time in five years. We expect to win.”Now the impressive Cardinals host the struggling Lions on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. That doesn’t bode well for stopping Murray, who is the first quarterback in NFL history to run for at least 150 yards and three touchdowns in the season’s first two games. Kennard played the past two seasons with the Lions, starting 15 games in both 2018 and 2019. He had one of his best games with Detroit against Arizona in 2019 with three sacks of Murray, who was playing his first NFL game.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions' defense allowed the most passing yards in the league last year. “It looks very similar to me, to what they’ve been doing," said Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, this week’s opponent. “Obviously I don’t want to go into too many details with Kliff obviously listening," Patricia said. That’s the most scramble yards through Week 2 since that data began being tracked in 2006, and offers yet another dilemma for Detroit’s defense to figure out. “That’s something he had to figure out -- the NFL game, the speed of the game, what he could get away with in Year 1," Kingsbury said.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions are once again firm underdogs after opening the season with back-to-back losses in games they led by double digits.

Good coverage, good pass rush, and vice versa. When the focus of Tuesday’s media session turned to the next task in Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, the defensive coordinator laughed. The Lions faced Murray and the Cardinals last season, in both the quarterback and coach Kliff Kingsbury’s NFL debut.

To everyones disbelief, all that drama was about to end in a 27-27 tie with the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Arizonas new-look offense under first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury was a dud for most of the afternoon before inexplicably coming alive in the fourth quarter. Murray hit David Johnson for a 27-yard touchdown to pull the Cardinals within 24-16 with less than six minutes remaining. Matthew Stafford threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns for the Lions, but they couldnt put together drives in the fourth quarter to stop Arizonas momentum. Weve got to do a better job of finishing the game out.NICE GAME, ROOKIEDetroits T.J. Hockenson made an immediate impact.
