When talking about Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jared Goff, there’s a lot of misconceptions. Some say that Amon-Ra is a slot only receiver and he’ll always be limited.

The Detroit Lions made the big signing that everyone hoped they would make this week. Michigan Panthers kicker Jake Bates is now officially Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates.
