Lions are releasing Standing Room Only seats again this week in anticipation of another 65,000+ crowd when they host Minnesota. Vikings have the 9th most false starts & 4th most delay of game penalties in the NFL this season. Safe to say Ford Field will be rocking come Sunday.

Officials are going to miss some calls but between the missed offside on Rams -- that cost Detroit a chance at points to end half -- and the no call on Gibbs getting hit 3 yards out of bounds. Officiating has to be better in 2nd half. This is the playoffs. #LARvsDET
