John Niyo | The Detroit News The Lions played like Weebles last weekend. But that’s just the way their coaches want them to play. Weebles wobble, you might remember, but they don’t fall down.

Justin Rogers | The Detroit News The first order of business for Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson this season was finding the consistency he lacked as a rookie.

Justin Rogers | The Detroit News As the unit nears full strength, there’s plenty to like about the Lions offense.
