Kirk Cousins is real nice – and 3 other things we learned from the 49ers game

(The Sports Xchange) – The Detroit Lions found the perfect remedy for a three-game losing streak. Matthew Stafford threw his 200th career touchdown pass as the Lions beat the punchless Packers 30-17 on Monday. Stafford passed for 361 yards and two touchdowns.

MLB has given the NFL a playbook in what not to do. But a fundamental difference between the leagues likely protects the NFL from making the same mistakes.

Bryce Young took home MVP honors during Alabama’s A-Day game, while freshman receiver Agiye Hall might have generated the most buzz of any Crimson Tide player. The quarterback’s 59-yard touchdown pass to tight end Cameron Latu was arguably the play of the game. Facing a second-and-10 from his own 14-yard line, Young was blindsided by sophomore outside linebacker Chris Braswell, who knocked the ball loose, allowing fellow linebacker Jaylen Moody to scoop it in the end zone for the score.
