Even without Stafford, there was no reason for the Lions to not win on Sunday against the Washington Redskins.

Chris, Jeremy and John carve up another Lions loss. The Cowboys came to town, brought their fans and stomped it all out - but the Lions offense was actually respectable in this game and came close to stealing something even. Too bad the defense can't do its job! They dissect performances from Bo Scarbrough, Jeff Driskel and maybe a few players you've heard of too. While some in the media make a bit of noise over the Cowboys fans filling Ford Field, the trio explain why it's not that big of a deal. In the mailbag, questions about TJ Hockenson, placing Stafford on IR, and Chris geeks out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A late game collapse and failed final drive seals the deal in the Bay as the Detroit Lions fall short against the Oakland Raiders. On a day when the entire division lost, the Lions failed to capitalize in Week 9 of the NFL schedule and it may be the playoff hunt could already be over barring miracles. Where do the Lions go from here?
