Scenes from the Roar Zone Thanksgiving

Lions take over first place and have a magic number of three. This would be the first division championship since 1993. The Lions have never won the NFC North.

Detroit Lions trade for CB Johnthan Banks, Armonty Bryant Suspended

Detroit Lions trade a 7th round pick in 2018 for Tampa Bay CB Johnthan Banks. I rated him as a 2nd round pick in 2013. I had a better grade on him than I did on Slay in 2013. He lost his starting job halfway thru 2015. The Lions need help everywhere on defense so this is a low risk move.

Here is a tribute:

50 games 37 starts
130 tackles 7 int 1 td

Welcome to Detroit

DE Armonty Bryant was suspended for the second time this season. The first was for PED for 4 games, this for a incident in the summer 2015 for 3 games. He is scheduled to return after Thanksgiving. Should mean more time for Anthony Zettel

3 Sacks Fro Bryant
