MFake Lamar Jackson report is flying around tonight, and it's completely wrong.
LWhich one? There's always something.
MPitch Be Fumble on X posted that Lamar needs thumb surgery and is headed to IR. Not true.
LWait, I saw that earlier. Thumb surgery? He was dealing with an ankle.
MExactly. He was coming back from an ankle, got ruled out for the rest of that game. No thumb, no surgery, no IR.
LSo some aggregator saw "ruled out" and invented surgery. That's irresponsible.
MAnd now it's everywhere. The score part was right—Bears 34-17 in Seattle. But the Lamar part? Fiction.
MAnd the report that undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano starts Thursday? Also unverified.
LJust straight-up rumors. The Ravens haven't named a starter.
MAnd now people are running with it. This is how bad info becomes fact.
LAnd it's not even the first time this week. Aggregator accounts are out of control.
MEngagement farming at its finest.
LMeanwhile, The Sharps on X dropped the Sunday night box score. Commanders 27, Eagles 10.
MJayden Daniels was 16 of 29 for 217 and a score. Rachaad White ran one in.
LAnd Stefon Diggs caught one. That Eagles defense got shredded.
MThey did, but let's not crown Washington yet. Eagles are still a playoff team.
LPlayoff team? They've lost two straight, and this one wasn't close.
MTwo games. That's it. It's November. You want me to panic after a 27-10 loss on the road?
LIt's not panic, it's a pattern. That secondary can't stop anyone.
MOkay, the secondary is a problem. But don't bury Philly in October. It's still early.
MBig one coming Sunday: undefeated Vikings at Detroit. America Today posted the details—Minnesota 6-0, Lions 4-2 at Ford Field. And I'm taking Detroit.
LDetroit? The Vikings are undefeated! They haven't lost a game. That's the hottest you can be.
MUndefeated against who? They beat the Bears twice and the Packers once. Let's see them play a real contender.
LThe Packers are a contender! And the Bears just beat Seattle by 17. Minnesota handled them.
MDetroit is the best team in football! They score at will, they stop the run, and they're at home. Lions by a touchdown.
LYou're out of your mind! Vikings win by 10. Their defense is elite, and their quarterback is playing out of his mind.
MTheir defense hasn't faced a running back like Jahmyr Gibbs. That kid is special.
LAnd Detroit hasn't faced a defense like Minnesota's. You'll see Sunday.
MLet's talk coaching. Dan Campbell has his team believing they can beat anyone. Kevin O'Connell hasn't won a big game yet.
LO'Connell won the division last year! And he's 6-0 this year. That's not a fluke.
MDivision title, sure. But the Lions went to the NFC Championship. That's a real run.
LAnd now they're 4-2 with losses to two teams they should've beaten. Minnesota hasn't stumbled once.
MBecause they've had a soft schedule! Detroit has played the tougher opponents. That's why I trust them more.
LSoft schedule? They played the Packers, the Bears twice, and the Browns. Those are physical teams.
MOkay, some of those are physical. But none are as good as Detroit. The Lions will expose them.
LWe'll see. I've got the Vikings by double digits. Book it.
MFine, we'll see. But I'm telling you, Lions cover easily.
LYou always say that, and then the Vikings do their thing. We'll find out.
LFine. Sunday at one, we'll see who's right.
