Speaking with reporters Monday , the Detroit Lions QB sounds optimistic about the team’s chances this year. This is after the Lions finished 0-3 in… […]

The Jaguars are not going to compete for a Super Bowl this year. They are not going to compete for a division title. They are not really going to compete for a playoff spot.
