Notes: Lions receivers snubbed in another top WR corps list
People are continuing to sleep on the Lions’ impressive WR set. Golden Tate and Marvin Jones Jr. represented one of the best one-two punch receiver duos in the league last season. Apparently, it went unnoticed. A week after The Ringer failed to put the Detroit Lions among the league’s top 10 pass-catching units, NFL.com released a list of the top five WR corps in the NFL, and the Lions were left off that list, too. The Lions had a response: You're forgetting the only team that had two 1,000-yard WRs last year... pic.twitter.com/E7jRPhiLX7— Detroit Lions (@Lions) June 19,...

Lions receivers absent among ‘Top 10 Pass-Catching Units’ in NFL
The Ringer’s Danny Kelly made a list of the 10 best groups of wide receivers. The Detroit Lions did not make said list. For the better part of this entire decade, the Detroit Lions have been a pass-first, ask questions later type of team. With a next to non-existent rushing attack, the team has turned to their running game if conventionality called, but the Lions teams of yesteryear have rarely picked up the phone. But with players like Calvin Johnson, Nate Burleson, Golden Tate, and Marvin Jones Jr. lining up to catch passes from Matthew Stafford, it’s been hard to contend with the...
