Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter is earning his contract.Signed to a five-year www.lionsauthorizedshops.com , $72 million deal in June, Hunter currently leads the NFL, with 11.5 sacks. He has a sack in every game but one, and he added 3.5 on Sunday, in a 24-9 win over the Lions. Hunter also delivered the dagger with a fumble recovery for a touchdown.It came on an impromptu decision by Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford to run an option play, sprinting away from the rush and pitching the ball to running back Kerryon Johnson, who failed to handle it.“It’s all about scoring on defense,” Hunter told PFT by phone after the win, adding that (unlike some coaches) Vikings defensive players are told to not simply fall on the ball Detroit Lions Womens T-Shirt , even though the effort to scoop and score by guys who don’t normally handle the ball could give the offense a chance to keep possession.“Get the ball and try to score” is the message from coach Mike Zimmer, according to Hunter.Hunter praised the offense for building a lead and the defensive backs for covering receivers long enough for the Vikings as a team to rack up 10 sacks. He also said that the return of defensive end Everson Griffen has provided a “major” boost to the team, given his status as a leader — and as a guy who “gets us going” from a motivational standpoint.Despite the temptation to chase a big win with another chance to pick up a W, Hunter said that the bye comes at a good time for the Vikings, giving them a chance to get guys healthy for the stretch run.And so the Vikings get a week off with a 5-3-1 record, a season after going 13-3. Does Hunter see similarities between last year and this year?“There are a lot of similarities,” Hunter said. “There are lot of players with chips on their shoulders who are trying to prove themselves.”Hunter is proving himself, big time. And even though he’s in the current sack lead, he’s not rooting against his peers.“I know how hard it is to get a sack Detroit Lions Hats ,” Hunter said. “I want guys to get as many as they can.”Hunter has gotten enough to be only 11 behind the single-season record, with seven games left to catch Michael Strahan’s single-season record from 2001.Sports Illustrated writer predicts Detroit Lions to make deep playoff run in 2018 If you don’t know the name Gary Gramling, prepare for him to be your new best friend. Gramling is a writer and editor for Sports Illustrated’s NFL team, and he, along with 14 other SI and MMQB employees offered their predictions for the 2018 NFL season. Let’s start with the bad news. 14 of 15 MMQB employees did not pick the Detroit Lions to make the postseason. Even worse, five picked an NFC North rival to win Super Bowl LIII (either the Packers or Vikings).But Gramling is our knight in shining armor. Not only did Gramling predict the Lions to make the playoffs (as a wild-card six seed), but he had them making a deep playoff run. He predicts the Lions to beat the Eagles and Rams on their way to the NFC Championship Game... against the two-seeded Green Bay Packers. Sadly, Gramling ends up picking the Packers and also has Green Bay beating the Patriots in a two-decade-old rematch from Super Bowl XXXI, but the MMQB writer admits he chickened out on who he wanted to pick.“I also thought about picking the Lions to win it all Detroit Lions Womens Hoodie , with the tragically underappreciated Matthew Stafford making the kind of gutsy, late-in-the-down plays that Nick Foles pulled off last winter and stud-in-the-making Jarrad Davis leading an opportunistic defense, but I came to realize I am a coward,” Gramling wrote.Coward or not, it’s pretty bold of Gramling to not only predict the Lions to make the postseason, but to win two playoff games—something the Lions haven’t managed to do in the last 60 years combined. Here’s hoping Gary is onto something.
