For a game that was going to be an after thought turned out to be a fantasy football extravaganza. Both Brady Quinn and Matthew Stafford had great days as they gave themselves confidence for the future.

Browns Down and Out….Really?

If you just went by this week alone and looked at the stats from the Cleveland Browns you wouldn’t know they are one of the worst offenses in football.

In this contest, the Browns young quarterback Quinn threw for over 300 yards passing and four touchdowns. He would have led his team to victory if it wasn’t for Stafford throwing a touchdown pass with no time left on the clock.

Rookie wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi benefited from Quinn’s strong game for 115 yards and a long bomb touchdown.

This was a very nice game for the Browns, but I wouldn’t expect them to have many strong games the rest of the season.

Stafford Leads Lions to Victory on Injured Shoulder

Everyone associated with the Detroit Lions should feel good about the performance of young rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford. Today Stafford threw the football for 422 yards passing and five touchdown passes.

Not only did Stafford have a strong game but his final touchdown was thrown on a very bad shoulder. The play before the game winning touchdown Stafford was driven into the ground by a Browns’ defender and injured his throwing shoulder.

This was an effort that showed everyone in the Lions’ organization that Stafford is committed to winning football games.

Johnson and Smith have Big Receiving Games

Calvin Johnson and Kevin Smith have had disappointing fantasy football seasons, but today they were productive. Johnson seven catches for 161 yards and a touchdown score. The score was from 75 yards out and shows that Johnson has his explosion back after his knee injury problems.

Smith didn’t run the ball effectively, but he did have over 100 yards receiving and a touchdown catch.

Both players will be playing an early game next week as the Lions will host the Packers on Thanksgiving. Look for Johnson to have another solid game, even if Stafford isn’t in the lineup.
