On Sunday, the Detroit Lions had a golden opportunity to move to 4-3 on the season. Unfortunately, things do not go their way as the Seattle Seahawks marched into Ford Field and dominated the Lions on their way to a 28-14 win.

Things will not get any easier for Detroit as they travel to Minnesota next week to take on the Vikings.
According to the William Hill Sportsbook in Las Vegas, the Vikings have opened as a 6-point favorite over the Lions.
Heading into Sunday Night Football, the Vikings are 4-2-1 as they face the New Orleans Saints. If the Vikings were to lose to the Saints, the Lions would still be in striking distance in the NFC North.
Nation, is next Sunday’s game against the Vikings a must-win game for the Lions?

MUST SEE: Autistic Special Olympian scores final touchdown for high school football team
Let’s admit it, sometimes we get just a bit too fired up about what happens on the athletic field. Sure, there are highs and lows and it’s natural to feel excitement and disappointment during those times, but when all is said and done, does it really matter?
Well, what happened on Thursday night during a high school football game in Las Vegas absolutely matters. In fact, it matters a lot.
During Bonanza High School’s final game of the season, something happened that showed everything that is right about high school athletics. With Bonanza trailing Faith Lutheran 41-6 in the fourth quarter, senior Richard Curry entered at running back for what would end up being the final play of the game.
What makes this truly special is that Curry, who is an autistic Special Olympian, has been the football manager at Bonanza for the past three seasons and he had never played a single snap in a high school game.
