Speaking of tough news, the Detroit Lions made headlines too, cutting ties with Terrion Arnold. That's never an easy decision for a team, especially when it comes after kidnapping and assault charges. It’s a harsh reminder that the off-field stuff, sometimes, is way bigger than anything that happens on Sundays. On a less somber note, we also heard that Matthew Stafford went looking for some wisdom, seeking out Drew Brees' advice when he hit a crossroads. Smart move, right? Always gotta learn from the vets. And the league itself is looking ahead, with the NFL eyeing another International Series expansion, coming after the Patriots' Robert Kraft suggested it. More global football? Could be wild for the game, for sure.
