The Detroit Lions are on the road in Week 10—for the fourth time in the last five weeks—as they take on their second AFC South opponent of the season: the Houston Texans.

The Vikings have added two former Lions to their roster in kicker John Parker Romo and long snapper Jake McQuaide. Thanks to injuries, Minnesota
It’s been a few weeks in the making but the Detroit Lions finally made the trade with the Cleveland Browns for Za’Darius Smith. Adding the talented defensive end was much needed after the Lions lost Aidan Hutchinson for the season due to his leg injury. With this addition, the Lions are getting a veteran defender
The Houston Texans had a long week to try and right the wrongs that led them to losing to the New York Jets. I’m sure they feel fortunate to have had the long week of preparation, as they are set to host the red-hot Detroit Lions for their Week 10 matchup. Where the Texans vs.
The Detroit Lions landed their top trade target on Tuesday night, bolstering their defensive line in a logical and relatively cheap way.
