Lions vs. Bucs stock report: 11 movers after divisional round win
Check out your movers as the Lions advance to the NFC Championship game.
I’m still soaking in the reality of where the Detroit Lions are right now — NFC North champions, 14-5 (and counting), and on their way to the NFC Championship game. Imagine hearing that when the Lions were 0-10-1 just a shade over two years ago, or telling that to your past self after the Lions took down the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. It’s surreal, and this weekend’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was yet another triumph for the Detroit Lions. Here are your movers for the week:
Stock up: Frank Ragnow, C
Frank the tank strikes again. Just a week after Penei Sewell proved to us exactly why he deserved his All-Pro honors, Ragnow (second-team All-Pro) did the same. Ragnow was holding his own against Vita Vea and the Bucs defensive line early. However, Jared Goff would get sacked right into Ragnow’s knee, twisting everything between Ragnow’s ankle and thigh in the process. Somehow, the man barely saw the sideline, returning to the game almost immediately to anchor the interior for the remainder of the night. It meant a lot to Ragnow, who was featured in NBC’s postgame interview, and it meant a lot to his teammates, too:
This isn’t the first time Ragnow has pulled off the impossible. Heck, it’s not even the first time this season. Ragnow came back earlier this season to start just a week after having meniscus surgery.
If you’re as impressed as I am with this, you can follow former Lion Tyrell Crosby’s suggestion and donate to Frank Ragnow’s charity:
