Listen up, football fans! We find ourselves in that familiar mid-week lull where the pads aren't popping and the whistle isn't blowing. That is right, there are no NFL games today, October 7. We are currently in the grind, the period of preparation where coaching staffs are burning the midnight oil and rosters are being tightened up for the challenges that lie ahead.
My Detroit Lions are always on my mind, and right now, the focus in the Motor City is purely on execution and maintaining that grit. Whether it is monitoring injury reports or adjusting schemes, this is when the true groundwork for success is laid. We have to keep our eyes on the horizon because the schedule resumes this Thursday, October 8. We have a marquee matchup on the docket as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head into Dallas to take on the Cowboys at 8:15 PM ET. It is a massive test for both squads as they look to assert their dominance. Use this time to get your rosters set and your game plans ready, because when Thursday night rolls around, it will be time to get back to business!
