New England Patriots will be missing 3 defensive starters vs. Detroit Lions The Detroit Lions may not only catch a break with Darius
Slay
Cheap Michael Roberts Jersey , who has reportedly cleared concussion protocol making him eligible (but not certain) to play Sunday night, but the New
England Patriots’ injury situation could also help Detroit’s chances on
Sunday.Late Saturday night, the Patriots downgraded three defensive starters to
OUT, confirming that they will not play. Defensive end Trey Flowers, safety
Patrick Chung and cornerback Eric Rowe will all miss “Sunday Night Football.”For
Chung and Flowers, this doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Much like Slay, both
suffered concussions last game, but neither participated in a single practice
this week. Rowe is a bit of a surprise. The Patriots’ No. 2 cornerback was
limited in practice all week with a groin issue and listed as questionable—while
the other two were “doubtful.” The Patriots’ defense has been struggling through
two games. They’ve allowed 25.5 points per game (18th) and 5.8 yards per play
(21st). Now they’ll be without their best pass rusher in Flowers, one of their
best defensive backs in Chung, and some key cornerback depth in Rowe. Last week,
the Jaguars were able to take advantage of these injuries and Blake Bortles
finished with 376 yards, four touchdowns and an interception.Matthew Stafford
and the Lions offense haven’t clicked yet in 2018

With Detroit coming into the game fairly healthy, there will be no more excuses
for the sluggish starts and the numerous turnovers. We’ll see if they can rise
to the occasion Sunday night.Detroit Lions Week 4 scouting report: Dallas
Cowboys searching for answers on offense The Detroit Lions are hoping to keep
the good time rolling. After a win over the Patriots last week, the Lions have a
second life. But to keep spirits high, the Lions will need to pick up a win or
two before the bye week, and it starts on Sunday with the Dallas Cowboys. Here’s
what you need to know about the Cowboys.Dallas CowboysLast season9-7 record (2nd

pretty big hit this offseason. In between Dez Bryant’s divorce from the team,
Jason Witten’s retirement and a bunch of preseason injuries to the offense
line
Sam Martin Jersey , Dallas entered the regular season with a lot of question about how they’d keep up their efficient offense from last season.To
their credit, Dallas tried to mitigate the damage, drafting Michael Gallup in
the third round and adding both Tavon Austin and Allen Hurns. They also made
sure to keep their offensive line fresh by adding Cameron Fleming in free agency
and Connor Williams in the draft.2018 season thus farWeek 1: Loss to Panthers,
8-16Week 2: Win over Giants, 20-13Week 3: Loss to Seahawks, 13-24The story of
the 2018 Cowboys thus far has easily been their lackluster offense. They’ve
scored just 41 total points through three games (31st), and their yards per play
(5.0) ranks them 23rd in the NFL.The problem is pretty easily identifiable.
Ezekiel Elliott is still as amazing as ever, but this pass offense is hurting
without any proven receiving talent. No Dez, no Witten, and you’re left with
Cole Beasley as your leading receiver, with a mere 132 yards through three
games. Tavon Austin has a couple of scores, but just 81 total yards. Rookie
Michael Gallup is still getting his footing in the NFL.This all goes back to the
play of Dak Prescott
Quandre Diggs Jersey , who is facing an increasing amount of criticism as the offense continues to struggle. His passer rating of 74.9 ranks just 27th of
all starting quarterbacks, as does his 5.66 yards per attempt. He hasn’t been
helped out by the aforementioned beat up offensive line—he’s been sacked 11
times (fifth most)—but he’s also not making the players around him
better.Defensively, this team is much more sound right now. They’re allowing
just 17.7 points per game (seventh) and a mere 4.3 yards per play (second).
They’ve got a feared defensive front with DeMarcus Lawrence (2.5 sacks) and Taco
Charlton (1.0 sacks), but don’t sleep on their secondary, either. 2015
first-round pick Byron Jones has been Pro Football Focus’ best cornerback
through three weeks, and Dallas is allowing just 6.6 yards per passing attempt
(eighth). The loss of Sean Lee to an injury last week looms large, but
first-round pick Leighton Vander Esch was phenomenal in his place against the
Seahawks, racking up 11 tackles.It’s been a disappointing start for the Cowboys,
especially racking up two losses in the NFC, but there is still enough talent
here to be worried about.Outlook for 2018Vegas win total: 8.5 winsBlogging the
