Detroit Lions Big Win Over the Vikings

When I tell you I yelled the entire 4th quarter I am not exaggerating. My Detroit Lions give me anxiety and a need to cuss a lot at the screen. The fourth quarter has to be most intense time watching the game because it's normally close and we have been known to go either way. The game against the Minnesota Vikings was no different. It was definitely a nail biter up until the 2 minute warning. Our defense has been strong for quite some time and have been known to win us the games. This game was about respect and earning it on the field, away from home. It's almost like a child going over a friend's house to play. All the "training" they received on knowing how to act has to be shown away from home. The Lion's showed up and showed out this past Sunday. With a 3-1 record and a power ranking of 2nd place, I only expect their A game to be brought this Sunday against the Panthers. I expect this to be intense, especially with the Panthers beating the champs.

Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas

Will Las Vegas have to wait longer for the Raiders?

As NFL games are overshadowed by protests, Las Vegas residents are wondering if the Raiders will move in the near future. When talks first started last year, it was agreed that the Raiders would move to Las Vegas and play one season in a temporary location. Now there are negotiations going on that could move that out past the time the stadium will be complete. They were due to play their first season in Las Vegas in 2019, while their stadium was still being built. It appears to be a concern with the Raiders that the stadium may not be ready for start of the 2020 season, so they are negotiating with the city of Oakland to remain in their lease through the 2020 season. "The team has all but ruled out playing at Sam Boyd Stadium where UNLV plays", says Velotta (2017). As of right now, the contractors are saying they can have the stadium built in 31 months, which they proved they could do when they completed the Minnesota Vikings stadium just last year, according to Velotta (2017).
