ALLEN PARK -- Jared Goff doesn’t have a heartwarming story to share regarding the genesis of his friendship with Baker Mayfield -- it’s as simple as two guys developing a bond after seeing each other out and about over the years. While the origin of their connection isn’t deep, the similarities between the two quarterbacks are glaring.

NFL Films posted a weird video that was overly insulting of Lions safety Brian Branch before they decided to delete it.

The biggest thing Mayfield has improved on is how well he's taken care of the football. He's had some turnover luck (dropped picks and fumbles recovered by the offense), but he's absolutely gotten better at protecting the ball and not making questionable throws — all while improving his depth of target to boot, which is very impressive.

The Detroit Lions received a significant boost this week as veteran left tackle Taylor Decker returned to the practice field. After being sidelined for two games with a nagging shoulder injury, Decker’s presence was a welcome sight as the team prepares for a critical NFC showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
