Jack Campbell released a statement through the Detroit Lions saying he has full movement in his lower body, and his movement in his upper body is improving.

Quote:

I'm incredibly encouraged by the progress I've made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I'm continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there's still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I'm taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.

Lions beat the undefeated Vikings 19-15.

Offensive MVP: The offensive line. With the game on the line, the offensive just reared back and ran behind Sewell. The whole o-line just got revved up and started blowing the defense off the ball. Gibbs in or Vaki in, either way they got chunk yards to win the game and seal it.

Defensive MVP: This one is for Jack. Jack Campbell went down with a scary injury in the second half. Latest update is he was transported to a local hospital with a neck injury. No other news than that so far. Keep him in your prayers.

 

It was a rough start, but a stellar finish. Defense even showed signs of life.

I wanted to give the Offensive MVP to Goff (19-30, 271 yards, 3 TDs. 0 INT) but it once again was Jahmyr Gibbs day with 25 carries for 151 yards and 2 TDs. Along with 5 catches for 56 yards.

And a Jameson Williams sighting! 2 catches for 47 yards and 2 TDs. The threat of Gibbs really opened up some passing lanes, especially in that 2nd quarter.

Defensive MVP: I'm going with Alim McNeill. ESPN says he only had 0.5 sacks, but I thought I saw him get two solo. Plus he was in there causing pressure and moving Brissett around all game long.

 

Lions beat the Jets with a TD 1:41 seconds left in the game, then force a fumble to end it. Whew! That was close.

It was Rex Manning Jahmyr Gibbs day! 20 carries for 99 yards and 2 TDs, along with 7 receptions for 65 yards and a TD.

Lordy, our O line has fallen off. And 4 of our top 5 tacklers were DBs, which is never a good look.

Really depends. You can twist it around the other way too. If, as multiple sources have confided, they did have contempt for the source material it isn't a stretch that they'd have no patience for Cavill's criticisms. They would have viewed Cavill as a dick for being more loyal to the author's vision. They certainly did put out that propaganda to save their own skins. And given how the quality of the show declined and viewership along with it, reality favors Cavill.

    I have no doubt they got the major beats right, but their execution to get to those points was horrendous. After watching season 8 I realized why the fAegon plotline was important. GRRM can get there in a more satisfying way.
