The Detroit Tigers are on a dramatic roll with a 12 game winning streak, bringing the magic number (to clinch the division) down to 2. The Detroit Lions won their season opener. That hasn’t happened since 2007 so we have a lot of hope going into the home opener at Ford Field this Sunday.
Good luck to all our Detroit sports teams! Have a great weekend.
