The Detroit Lions find themselves a pass rusher deep in the heart of Texas

After losing three of their first four games, the Detroit Lions have rallied following their bye week to rattle off two straight victories and evening their once lopsided record at 3-3. With the NFL trade deadline nearing, the Lions were expected to be buyers to help improve their roster. And they did just that on Tuesday.

The Lions sent a conditional sixth-round selection to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for defensive end Everson Griffen according to several reports.
