Defensive end <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-detroit-announces-aidan-hutchinson-surgery-update-brutal-injury">Aidan Hutchinson suffered a gruesome, season-ending leg injury</a> in the third quarter that required emergency surgery. It ended his season in which he was considered a top contender to win Defensive Player of the Year for 2024.</p><p>But in the meantime, the business of football must go on. While the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-detroit-signs-bengals-player-replace-aidan-hutchinson">Lions have already made one addition to their team</a> in Hutchinson’s absence, general manager Brad Holmes has made a significant move in retaining a key player already on the roster.</p><p>According to multiple reports, Defensive tackle Alim McNeill has been re-signed to a four-year contract extension, keeping him with the franchise through the 2028 NFL season. The <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1846339085553864759" rel="noopener">news was first reported</a> by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on X, <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1846339085553864759" rel="noopener">who also reported</a> that the deal is worth $97 million with $55 million guaranteed.</p><p>Thanks to his new deal, McNeill becomes the fourth highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL. The only players at his position making more than him are Nnamdi Madubuike of the Baltimore Ravens, Christian Wilkins of the Las Vegas Raiders, and Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs.</p><p>McNeill is the second Lions player to agree to a contract extension in the last week; the team also re-signed David Montgomery to a two-year, $18.25 million extension.</p><h2><b>Alim McNeill is a 2021 Lions Draft pick </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Alim-McNeill-pressures-Cowboys-QB-Dak-Prescott.jpg"><figcaption>Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>McNeill, currently in the final year of his rookie contract, was drafted by the Lions with the 72nd overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He played college football at NC State, where he put up an impressive stat line of 77 tackles, 10 sacks, one interception, and one touchdown, earning All-American honors in his junior season.</p><p>He became Detroit’s starting defensive tackle ahead of the 2023 season, though he missed a handful of games after suffering a knee injury in Week 13. So far in 2024, he’s amassed 2.5 sacks, four quarterback hits, and three tackles for loss.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

No matter how tough the player is, a brutal injury is always around the corner in the NFL.</p><p>Hutchinson is the best defensive player on the best team in the NFC. It is going to be difficult for the Lions to endure over the long haul. But don’t think there is going to be anything short about their effort when they take on the undefeated and rested Vikings in Week 7.</p><p>Dan Campbell has shown he knows how to rally his team, and the Lions clearly have a killer instinct. Their 47-9 destruction of the Cowboys in Dallas revealed a team that was unstoppable on both sides of the ball. Jared Goff and the Lions had 492 yards on offense and took the ball away from the Cowboys five times on defense.</p><p>However, what separates the Lions from the other top teams in the NFC – and perhaps the entire NFL – is the killer instinct. They were not about to let up when they built a big lead in the first half. They came out hungry and nasty in the second half and they were on the field at AT&amp;T Stadium to punish the Cowboys right in Jerry World at AT&amp;T Stadium.</p><p>This is the result of Campbell’s coaching style and the personality he revealed when the Lions hired him prior to the 2021 season when <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng8TV6buqqM" rel="noopener">he told the world</a> that “we’re going to bite a kneecap off,” via Brad Galli.</p><h2><b>NFL has learned that Dan Campbell does not mince words</b></h2><p>The Lions have been true to Campbell’s word since then. As they have steadily improved, they have also displayed the personality of an overachiever. Nothing they’ve done to this point has satisfied them or told them they have been good enough. Each victory seems to fuel their fire and make them fight harder the following week.</p><p>The injury to Hutchinson is not going to slow the Lions down over the short haul. The next man up philosophy comes into play here as Isaac Ukwu will move to Hutcchinson’s spot on the defensive line and DC Aaron Glenn will figure out a way to deploy the talent on the Detroit roster in the best possible way.</p><p>But more than Ukwu, Josh Paschal, Levi Onwuzurike and DJ Reader – the players that will get Hutchinson’s reps – it’s about Alex Anzalone, Jack Campbell, Carlton Davis, Brian Branch, Alim McNeill, Terrion Arnold, Malcolm Rodriguez and Kerby Joseph. The other defensive starters will turn up their fire and pick up their level of play. That’s what the Lions have done under Campbell, and that’s what they will continue to do.</p><p>“There’s a difference between Campbell and nearly every other coach in this league,” said one AFC executive. “Instead of trying to piece things together and looking for a tactical solution, he is going to put it all on his players and tell them to step it up because that’s what they have to do. Other coaches might say something similar, but Campbell’s players will believe him and believe in him. They know that he has taken this franchise to a height it’s never been at before, and they can go even higher.”</p><p>The Lions came up with a maximum effort in their beatdown of the Cowboys, and the normal way of life in the NFL is the team that comes up with that type of Grade A performance is not going to do it two weeks in a row. However, the Lions were motivated by last year’s defeat at Dallas in which an official’s call wiped out a successful two-point conversion that saw Jared Goff connect with Taylor Decker on a tackle-eligible play in the end zone. Those were special circumstances. It’s back to serious business this week.</p><h2><b>Vikings are next for Lions</b></h2><p>Playing the Vikings represents a whole new level of motivation. They are the upstarts who have beaten the 49ers, Texans and Packers and take an undefeated record into the game. Nothing would mean more to Campbell and his players than beating up the Vikings on their home field and sending an even louder message to the rest of their NFC competitors on what this team is all about.</p><p>The Vikings are <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl" rel="noopener">2.5-point favorites</a> in the game (per FanDuel), but Minnesota head coach Kevin O’Connell and defensive coordinator Brian Flores saw what the Lions did in Dallas, so they should know what’s coming. When they beat the Niners, San Francisco was not even close to its best. The Texans needed their own wake-up call as well. The wins over the Packers and Jets saw the Vikings hang on by their fingernails.</p><p>They are facing a completely different animal this week and it is not likely to be pretty.</p><h2><b>Sadness, NFL-style, slowly lifting in New England</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Drake-Maye-has-given-the-Patriots-a-small-dose-of-hope.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Patriots have been on a painful downward NFL spiral since the end of the Tom Brady era with very few moments to uplift the franchise. However, there was at least a little bit of sunshine in their Week 6 game against the Houston Texans.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-drake-maye-first-td-tom-brady-replacement">Drake Maye was able to provide</a> a hint that things may be turning around. While he started very slowly in the first half, Maye was able to improve as the game went along.</p><p>It looked very similar to the Jacoby Brissett offense in the first few series of the game. The Pats went three-and-out on their first series and Maye threw an interception on the next series. Three more aborted drives followed as the Patriots could not even sniff Houston territory.</p><p>But things turned around on the final drive of the first half as Maye seemed to know what he was doing and the team responded. New England got the ball at its own 16 with 48 seconds left and seemingly had little chance of doing anything. But Maye took them 84 yards and Kayshon Boutte with a near-perfect 40-yard deep pass that resulted in a TD catch — even though cornerback Derek Stingley had excellent coverage.</p><p>The second half was also positive even though the Patriots ended up on the short end of a 41-21 score. Maye finished with 243 yards and had two more TD passes. He played with confidence throughout the final 30 minutes, throwing the ball on the run and displaying excellent athleticism in addition to accuracy and arm strength.</p><p>Now comes the hard part as he must continue to improve on an every-week basis and the NFL schedule maker appears to be cooperating. The Pats face the Jaguars, Jets and Titans over the next three weeks, and they need to be competitive in all three and win at least one of them.</p><h2><b>This and that</b></h2><p>The Bengals’ defense held a players-only meeting prior to their Sunday night 17-7 victory over the New York Giants. The NFL’s 23rd-ranked defense picked up its play considerably, holding the Giants to 205 passing yards and preventing Daniel Jones from throwing a TD pass. They held primary running back Tyrone Tracy to 50 yards and a 2.9 yards per carry average. They had been getting gashed on the ground, but a turnaround may have started in MetLife Stadium.</p><p>Former head coach Bill Belichick may not have said much during his weekly press conferences as head coach of the Patriots, but he is at his best on the Monday Night Football “Manning Cast” with Peyton and Eli Manning.</p><p>Belichick <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s7kfEt3Kgw" rel="noopener">took apart</a> the Jets ownership situation for the firing of Robert Saleh and then broke down Josh Allen’s performance and told the brothers what makes Allen unique, via the NFL.</p><p>“Man, this guy can pull the rabbit out of his hat. When he extends the play, he’s got the ability to run the ball and he’s got a tremendous arm. He can zip it as well as anybody. He’s got a lot of fastballs there, and he can thread the needle.”</p><p>After that, he provided a breakdown on what it takes to contain Allen, and that the left defensive end has the responsibility to keep him in the pocket and not let him make plays on the run.

It certainly put a damper on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-stephen-a-smith-trolls-jerry-jones-cowboys-lions-blowout">Detroit’s emphatic win over the Dallas Cowboys</a> on Sunday. Unfortunately, the news is not getting any better. The Lions <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1845977750089486367" rel="noopener">have lost another defender</a> — Kyle Peko — to injury.</p><p>Peko left Sunday’s game in the first quarter with a pectoral injury. He did not return to the game, and it’s unlikely he will return this season. He suffered a pectoral tear in the game against Dallas, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. He is likely to undergo season-ending surgery, as Pelissero notes.</p><p>This is another blow to the depth of Detroit’s offensive line. Peko signed as a free agent in the offseason to deepen this group. In five games, the 31-year-old Oregon State product recorded two total tackles for Detroit.</p><h2>Lions exploring options after losing Aidan Hutchinson, Kyle Peko</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Kyle-Peko-injury.jpg"><figcaption>Eamon Horwedel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Lions were certainly likely to make some sort of move after losing Aidan Hutchinson for the season. However, Detroit losing two defensive linemen for the season in one fell swoop may force matters. Head coach Dan Campbell spoke with reporters on Monday. And he did admit the team was looking at its options. For now, though, <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2024/10/14/dan-campbell-detroit-lions-trade-replace-aidan-hutchinson/75677870007/" rel="noopener">he is focused</a> on the group available to him.</p><p>“Yeah. I mean, listen, my job is to coach what’s here and I’m going to coach the hell out of them, and we are as a staff,” Campbell said, via the Detroit Free Press. “And so, yeah, I do (think we can win with what we have). And if we get somebody, great. If we don’t, these are our guys. And the coaches know that.”</p><p>Detroit is looking to internal options to replace Hutchinson for now. As mentioned, though, the Lions are exploring their options outside of the organization. However, Campbell stressed that any move from Detroit has to make sense for his team. They are not making a move to simply make a move.</p><p>“Is there somebody out there that could potentially help us? What is it going to cost? And so those things will always come up, but just because that’s there, it doesn’t mean we’re going to do it. And it’s got to be right if it is. Everything’s got to be right,” the Lions coach said, via the Detroit Free Press.</p><p>It will certainly be interesting to see how the Lions move forward. Detroit has a major test ahead of them on Sunday. The Lions take on their undefeated NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at home in the Motor City.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Detroit dominated in every facet of the game, cruising to a 47-9 victory.</p><p>The 38-point margin was the Cowboys’ largest loss since a 43-3 defeat to the Minnesota Vikings in 1988, making it the fifth-worst loss in franchise history. And it all took place on team owner and general manager Jerry Jones’ birthday, no less.</p><p>Head coach Mike McCarthy, whom Jones said he had no plans on replacing following the humiliating setback, arrived two hours late for his press conference on Monday afternoon. After apologizing for his tardiness, McCarthy explained that the Cowboys simply <a href="https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/did-mike-mccarthy-players-during-231434993.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9COur%20basics%20are%20not%20in,giveaways%20and%20lack%20of%20takeaways.%E2%80%9D" rel="noopener">don’t have the basics in order</a> right now, via Yahoo Sports.</p><p>“Our basics are not in order,” McCarthy said. “It’s stating the obvious, it starts with the turnover ratio. Fundamentals of football are part of your everyday existence in this game. We cannot function where we are as far as the number of giveaways and lack of takeaways.”</p><p>“So really, I just kept it about football,” he continued. “The technique, fundamentals and how you improve that, the focus with that. The number of moving parts. Regardless of that, we need to be more connected, more uniform. Just kept it about the things we did do, didn’t do and make sure the direction was clear and the direction we’re going.”</p><p>The Cowboys are entering their bye week and won’t be in action until they take on the San Francisco 49ers on October 27 at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California.</p><h2><b>Jerry Jones insisted that he’s not considering firing Mike McCarthy</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Mike-McCarthy-looks-at-his-play-sheet-against-the-Lions.jpg"><figcaption>Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After the loss, Jones was asked directly by reporters if he was considering a coaching change. Clearly frustrated, he responded firmly, stating that he had no intention of making any such move, via USA Today.</p><p>“Oh, I haven’t even considered that,” he said. “I’m not considering that. Just so you’re clear, I’m not considering that.”</p><p>“That would be a hypothetical. In that matter, do you think I’m an idiot? Do you?” Jones continued “Ok. Well, I’m not going to hypothetical with you about would I consider a coaching change in light of the timing we’re sitting here with. I’m not. At all.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-skip-bayless-calls-for-mike-mccarthys-firing-emotional-rant">For now, McCarthy’s job security seems safe</a>.

However, the Lions lost the services of defensive end Aidan Hutchinson to a major leg injury during their game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Head coach Dan Campbell <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41796483/lions-campbell-count-hutchinson-returning-season" rel="noopener">gave an optimistic take</a> on Hutchinson’s recovery despite the surgery and lengthy rehab required to get back on the field.</p><p>“I would never count Hutch out.

On Monday, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-official-aidan-hutchinson-surgery-update">the Lions announced</a> that Hutchinson underwent a successful surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.</p><p>Hutchinson was one of Detroit’s best defensive players, but Dan Campbell has confidence the star end will do everything he needs to come back stronger.</p><p>“Just knowing Hutch — he’s got one of those rare… once he believes in it, he can will himself to find a way to get back.

But just because that game was over, it apparently doesn’t mean that the hostility between Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Cowboys defensive back Jourdan Lewis is over.</p><p>On Monday, St. Brown shared a <a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1845808712637714743" rel="noopener">screenshot of an alleged private message</a> sent to him by Lewis.</p><p>“You a b***h,” Lewis’ message read (h/t Ari Meirov).</p><p>Nevertheless, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-skip-bayless-throws-shade-dak-prescott-jared-goff-take">St. Brown’s Lions got the better</a> of whatever Dallas’ defense threw at them on Sunday. Brown did not exactly put up a fiery performance, but he still scored a touchdown to go with 37 receiving yards on four catches and four targets. As a team, the Lions dumped 492 total yards from scrimmage on the Cowboys, who were lackluster on both ends of the field.</p><p>Detroit quarterback Jared Goff repeatedly marched the Lions’ offense into Dallas territory, finishing with 315 passing yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions on 18-of-25 pass completions.

I’m gonna have to go hard. He was talking crazy out of pocket. [Jameson Williams] heard it too, he was coming in. At that point, it was like, I don’t know what he’s saying. I’m trying to make plays, win the game, I’m not worried about him,” ASB explained,” the Lions wideout said of Lewis during a July episode of the “The Pivot Podcast.”</p><p>Lewis also <a href="https://x.com/Tony_Catalina/status/1810767826149658861/photo/2" rel="noopener">reacted to that comment</a> by St. Brown.</p><p>“I am passionate about my craft and I don’t want to be friends with everyone, especially a Detroit Lion not from Detroit,” Lewis posted at the time via Instagram Stories.</p><p>In any case, both the Lions and the Cowboys will be moving on to their next assignments. Detroit will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7 while Dallas will have a bye in Week 7 before locking horns with the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With Dallas struggling in nearly every facet of football in Week 6, the Cowboys suffered a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-jerry-jones-firm-stance-coaching-change-week-6-loss">humiliating 47-9 loss to the Lions</a>.</p><p>Such a loss usually gets pinned on the stars of the losing side, and it was no different for the Cowboys this time, with quarterback Dak Prescott getting called out left and right by fans for his forgettable performance under center. Of course, Cowboys fan Skip Bayless <a href="https://x.com/RealSkipBayless/status/1845602848333025395" rel="noopener">had things to get off his chest</a> after seeing his beloved Dallas embarrassed at home.</p><p>“I never thought I’d rather have Jared Goff than Dak Prescott … but I do now,” Bayless posted on X (formerly Twitter). “It has come to this.”</p><p>Bayless <a href="https://x.com/RealSkipBayless/status/1845605768810070381" rel="noopener">did not stop there</a>.</p><p>“The Highest Paid Player in Football has been the starting quarterback for four straight home games in which the Cowboys were blown out by halftime,” Bayless added in a separate post on X.</p><h2><b>Cowboys QB Dak Prescott’s play not matching his massive extension deal</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Cowboys-1.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It can be recalled that Prescott got the massive extension deal he wanted just before the start of the 2024 NFL regular season, as he inked a four-year deal worth $240 million with the Cowboys.</p><p>The expectation that comes with that kind of expensive contract is huge, to say the least. However, it doesn’t seem like Prescott’s play is living up to the amount he inked prior to the season.</p><p>That was very much on display in the Lions game where the former Mississippi State Bulldogs star connected on just 17 of his 33 throws for 178 passing yards and zero touchdowns. Prescott got intercepted twice and sacked four times for a loss of 26 yards. Dallas’ offense looked disjointed with Prescott running the show. While the Cowboys got their chances in the red zone, they failed to succeed on any of their three tries inside the Lions’ 20-yard territory. Moreover, Dallas was just 3-for-13 on third-down situations.</p><p>As a whole, the Cowboys generated just 251 total yards from scrimmage, which painfully pales in comparison to the 492 total yards that the Lions slapped Dallas’ defense with. Jared Goff easily was the better quarterback in the game, having thrown for 315 passing yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions on 18-of-25 pass completions.</p><p>Prescott, who now has three multi-interception games through six weeks in the 2024 season, has no place to go but up after such a poor showing on the field. He and the Cowboys will have a long break to address their issues, with Dallas having a bye in Week 7. They will emerge from their lengthy rest in Week 8 for another tough test against the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara on Oct. 27.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Detroit blew out Dallas 47-9 in front of their home crowd, on the owner’s birthday no less. The team’s official social media account also took a hilarious potshot at the Cowboys and AT&amp;T Stadium after the game.</p><p>The Lions <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-stephen-a-smith-trolls-jerry-jones-cowboys-lions-blowout">did a little trolling of the Cowboys</a> after Sunday’s blowout victory. AT&amp;T Stadium’s X, formerly Twitter, account posted a graphic celebrating that 93,644 fans were in attendance for Lions vs. Cowboys. However, it appears that one minor tweak has been made to the image — the scoreboard on the giant jumbotron was blurred out.</p><p>Naturally, the Lions social media team <a href="https://x.com/Lions/status/1845660326974337250" rel="noopener">took this golden opportunity to twist the knife</a>. “is it us or is the scoreboard a little blurry?” the Lions team accounted commented while posting the original graphic.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">🧐 is it us or is the scoreboard a little blurry? <a href="https://t.co/TIFeprUrGc">https://t.co/TIFeprUrGc</a></p><p>— Detroit Lions (@Lions) <a href="https://twitter.com/Lions/status/1845660326974337250?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 14, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>AT&amp;T Stadium really set themselves up for this one. There was simply no chance that nobody would notice that the scoreboard was blurred out of this image.</p><p>It seems clear that even the Lions social media team was still salty <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-ref-brad-allens-explanation-game-deciding-call-detroit-losing-it">after last season’s controversial loss against the Cowboys</a>.</p><h2><b>Recapping the Lions’ blowout victory against the Cowboys in Week 6</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Lions-QB-Jared-Goff.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Lions put together one of their most complete performances as a team against the Cowboys on Sunday.</p><p><a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401671764" rel="noopener">Detroit was firing on all cylinders in all three phases of the game</a>. The offense was unstoppable, rumbling for 492 yards and never being forced to punt. The defense was smothering, surrendering only nine points while sacking Dak Prescott four times and forcing five turnovers. Even the special teams unit had a special day, with kicker Jake Bates knocking down four field goals and five extra points.</p><p>The Lions threw everything but the kitchen sink at the Cowboys, seemingly getting revenge for last season’s controversial loss. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson cooked up some nasty plays, including a pass intended for left tackle Taylor Decker and a hook-and-ladder play to right tackle Penei Sewell. Sewell’s play scored a touchdown, but was called back because of penalty.</p><p>Unfortunately, the victory came with a heavy cost. Lions superstar pass rusher <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-aidan-hutchinson-suffers-devastating-injury-cowboys">Aidan Hutchinson suffered a horrific injury in the third quarter</a> which was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-detroit-announces-aidan-hutchinson-surgery-update-brutal-injury">later confirmed as a broken tibia</a>. In all likelihood Hutchinson’s 2024 season is over and the future of his career hangs in the balance during his recovery.</p><p>“Hate it for Hutch, it’s tough,” Lions coach Dan Campbell <a href="https://x.com/E_Woodyard/status/1845616396497031258" rel="noopener">told reporters after the game</a>, per ESPN’s Eric Woodyard. “He’s in good hands right now, he’s being taken care of. He’ll stay back here (in Dallas) and obviously he’s going to be down for a little while. That’s tough, man. It’s hard when you lose someone like him. We’ll know a lot more after this, and obviously wish him the best.”</p><p>Next up for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/schedule/upcoming">Lions is a date with the 5-0 Vikings in Week 7</a> in what should be the best matchup of the week.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

She previously wore Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys during her <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sabrina-carpenter-2024-short-n-sweet-tour-announcement">Short n’ Sweet Tour shows</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Phillies: DEAD<br>Leafs: lost season opener to Montreal</p><p>Will be monitoring the Sabrina Carpenter curse going forward. <a href="https://t.co/H5Qrw0bw2d">pic.twitter.com/H5Qrw0bw2d</a></p><p>— Hookah-Pekka Luukkonen (@shawn_depaz) <a href="https://twitter.com/shawn_depaz/status/1844197914182320441?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Both teams had bad luck after she wore their jersey. The Phillies lost to the New York Mets in the NL Division Series. The Maple Leafs lost their season opener to the Montreal Canadiens, 1-0.</p><p>Fans will have to continue tracking Carpenter’s jersey-wearing habits. More teams could be added to her list of affected teams. In the case of the Cowboys, Carpenter is from Pennsylvania — perhaps she was trying to have the Philadelphia Eagles’ rivals lose.</p><p>Her latest headlining tour, the Short n’ Sweet Tour, is in full swing. She is coming off a show in Chicago, Illinois, and will perform in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on October 14.</p><p>The North American leg of the tour will conclude on November 18, 2024, with a show in Inglewood, California. In 2025, Carpenter will perform in Europe. The tour is set to conclude on March 26, 2025, with a show in Milan, Italy.</p><h2><b>The Dallas Cowboys loss to the Detroit Lions</b></h2><p>Following narrow victories against the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cowboys are reeling after losing to the Lions. The 38-point loss is their second this season of over 20 points. In Week 2, they lost to the New Orleans Saints, 44-19.</p><p>The Cowboys are now 3-3, third place in the NFC East behind the Washington Commanders (4-2) and Eagles (3-2). They are heading into their bye and will face the San Fransisco 49ers on the other side of it.</p><p>The last time the Cowboys faced the 49ers, they got destroyed. They lost 42-10 in Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw for just 153 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Dak-Prescott-throwing-a-pass-against-the-Lions.jpg"><figcaption>Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images.</figcaption></figure><p>Prescott had a disastrous game. He barely completed over 50% of his passes. Prescott did not throw a touchdown and had two interceptions.</p><p>The run game was not much better. Running back Rico Dowdle had 25 yards on five carries. Ezekiel Elliott did not fare well, either, gaining 17 yards on eight carries.</p><p>However, the win came at a cost for the Lions. They lost star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson to a gruesome leg injury. He was carted off the field during the game as a result.</p><p>Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw 315 yards and three touchdowns. The Lions ran rampant over the Cowboys, rushing for 184 yards. David Montgomery led the way, rushing for 80 yards and two touchdowns.</p><p>The Lions are now 4-1 and second place in their NFC North. They are still behind the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. The two teams will square off in Week 7 for first place in the division.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Lions dominated on both sides of the ball en route to a 47-9 final score over the Cowboys on the road. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-aidan-hutchinson-reaction-jared-goff-stellar-week-4-outing">Quarterback Jared Goff</a> threw for three touchdowns in the victory, and the Detroit offense might have made legendary quarterback Tom Brady a bit envious. While calling the matchup for FOX Sports, Brady touched on the unit’s performance, and Lions beat writer Nolan Bianchi <a href="https://x.com/nolanbianchi/status/1845575874889867714" rel="noopener">posted the former signal caller’s</a> thoughts on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>“Tom Brady on the #Lions offense: ‘I’d love to be the quarterback of this offense, it’s just so much fun…. when I look at this offense, it reminds me of what great offense should be in the NFL,” Bianchi posted during Sunday’s Lions-Cowboys tilt.</p><p>Based on Sunday’s performance, it looks as if Detroit’s attack under <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-ben-johnson-bobby-slowik-potential-jets-candidates">offensive coordinator Ben Johnson</a> is finally hitting its stride. They scored 42 points in last week’s Monday night win over the Seattle Seahawks and will now turn their attention to a matchup with their division rivals, the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are currently undefeated, and if the Lions win, they will take control of the NFC North. After winning the division last year, it is a safe bet that they’d prefer to do so again. With more performances like Sunday’s, more wins should follow suit.</p><h2><b>Lions offense could help team make deep postseason run</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Lions-QB-Jared-Goff.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Starting with the Vikings next week, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/detroit-lions-bold-predictions-for-week-6-vs-cowboys">the Lions don’t have</a> the toughest schedule up to their bye week in December. They play their other two division rivals in the Chicago Bears (at home) and the Green Bay Packers (both at home and away), plus the entirety of the AFC South. The Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans will visit Ford Field, while the Lions will head away from the Motor City to play at the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans.</p><p>The schedule is set up for a strong run into their week off, as their last four games of the season will be tough. Away games in Chicago and at the San Francisco 49ers plus home dates versus the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota highlight just how important staying in the hunt for both the division and playoffs will be over these next few weeks. Luckily, the balance showed by Detroit in all three phases today show just how good they can be.</p><p>As long as their offense continues to put up strong numbers, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-tom-brady-blunt-lions-review-fire-up-fans">the Lions should be able</a> to hang with any team left on their schedule. The Vikings are undefeated, but the Lions’ one loss? To the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. Since then, they’ve won every game. Can that momentum continue at US Bank Stadium next Sunday? Their path through the playoffs may hinge on it.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
