Detroit Lions currently hold No. 1 Draft pick

The Detroit Lions have the worst record in the NFL, which means they’re trending towards the top pick, and they have the top waiver priority.

After Sunday’s Week 7 games, there are only two one-win teams remaining in the NFL: the 1-5 Detroit Lions and the 1-4-1 Houston Texans. And with that, the Lions are suddenly in the position to have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Obviously there’s a lot of football to be played—11 games, to be exact—but it’s a concerning trend for this Lions team that was expected to take at least a moderate jump from last year’s 3-13-1 season.

Williams immediately apologized while the referee continued to finish his penalty call

NFL referees take their job very seriously … even if they have footballs thrown at them.

During the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday, the referee was calling a holding penalty against the Lions when running back Jamaal Williams flipped the ball at the referee, and it hit him in the head.

But, completely unfazed, the referee continued to make the call, sending the Lions back 10 yards while Williams was trying to apologize for hitting him in the head.
