On Sunday, the Detroit Lions will host the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football. When they do so, it is looking more and more like they will be without their top cornerback, Darius Slay. According to reports, Slay missed practice for the second day in a row and his availability for Sunday is not looking good. On the bright side, guard T.J. Lang and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah both suited up for Thursday’s practice.

In advance of the big game, Belichick spoke to the media about Lions’ quarterback Matthew Stafford‘s downfield passing ability and to say he had high praise would be an understatement.
