New Lions Owner Has Success his first week

With the new season just beginning the Detriot Lions have hired a new GM. With them drafting two rookie LBs they look to make a stand defensively this season in order to bring home that Lombardi Trophy. One major change as well is they named Wooten their starting HB despite Abdullah showing promise in practice. And of course, good ol Stafford remains the starter at QB.

The Lions were in for a good game their first week against the Packers. This being an away game they knew their D would have to step up if they wanted to win. Right out of the gate their starter Wooten gets injured with a sprained back and has to sit out the remainder of the game. Abdullah and Johnson were able to step up and make an impact as Johnson had 180 yards and 3 TDs on his 20 carries!, with Abdullah coming up the rear with his 67 yards as well. Head Coach was very impressed and is considering making Johnson the starter upon his great showing. Switching to the defense the Lions D made their stand and picked off Rodgers 5 times! Veteran Slay Jr. with three of those INTs, and one of our new rookie LBs, D Mack, with one as well. Diggs finished it out with the final INT. While many of those INTs only lead to field goals, a win is a win, but Head Coach would like to make sure the Lions perform better in the red zone. While the game was close until the second half new GM Waldron was very happy with his teams performance and looks forward to the upcoming season.
