ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions were well on their way to a blowout loss last week, digging themselves a 31-3 hole at Green Bay.Then Marvin Jones Jr. ripped off a 73-yard touchdown catch to give some momentum to Detroit.The Lions still lost, 34-27, but Jones impact on the team has been undeniable. He has given the offense and quarterback Matthew Stafford a legitimate downfield threat. Jones, in his first season with Detroit, has racked up 18 catches for 408 yards, averaging 22.7 yards per catch. Of Jones 18 catches, fully half of them have gone for more than 20 yards, and six have netted Detroit 30-plus yards.Im comfortable within the system, Jones said. I think with all of us, it was kind of automatic. We all grew in the system and early on, learned the system with each other.Jones was listed as limited in practice Thursday with a hamstring issue, but hes been healthy enough so far to lead the NFL with 136.0 receiving yards per game. No one else in the league has more than 325 receiving yards so far this season.Were throwing the ball underneath a lot, but can you get it down the field? offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said. Marvin is able to make some plays down the field, and thats good for our offense. If youre an opposing defense looking at our offense, you know you have to be aware of all threats. Marvin went out and made some really big plays, Stafford made some nice throws, O line gave some nice protection. Its a positive development.In four seasons with the Bengals, Jones never averaged more than 14 yards per catch. His 73-yard score against the Packers last week was the longest catch of his career by 24 yards.Before this season, Jones had tallied just two games with more than 100 yards receiving. Hes already done that twice for the Lions, including a career-high 205 in Green Bay. Hes just the fifth Lion to ever surpass the 200-yard plateau.I feel like quite a few of (his catches) have, kind of, been toe-tapping right on the sideline, Stafford said. His body control is really good, obviously has good speed . and hes doing a good job of attacking the ball when its in the air. Were not going to throw a deep ball every play, but if theres opportunities for guys to go succeed at what theyre really good at, Im going to try and give them that opportunity.Game notes Lions cornerback Nevin Lawson was flagged for pass interference at the start of the second quarter against the Packers, resulting in a 66-yard penalty. Lawson said one of his coaches told him the league admitted the call was a mistake. He said he believes pass-interference calls should be reviewable and added: These refs have to be held accountable in some type of way. They should definitely have to get some type of consequences for making the wrong call, especially crucial calls that can decide wins or losses.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ECCO Herre BIOM Delta Offroad Sandaler 810634-50333 Tarmac Sort BISCAYA .

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Thunder general manager Sam Presti said he had a pretty good indication that Kevin Durant was leaving the team before Durant announced hed be joining the Golden State Warriors on Monday.When you do this long enough, I would say this: I would say we have means known and unknown to try to understand and interpret where things probably are headed, and so we had a pretty good indication, I think, that this was a potential outcome, he said.Presti said Durant called him to inform him of his decision before it was posted on The Players Tribune.I found out a few minutes before the media, he said. He called me with his agent and business manager, and we had a conversation. Kevin was great.As for the reasons Durant gave for leaving the franchise he has been with the past nine years, Presti said it was about the opportunity to pursue a different challenge and step outside his comfort zone.He and I are going to talk, probably down the line, Presti said. Weve worked together for nine years. I have nothing but respect for him. Those obviously arent easy conversations, but theyre necessary, and Im appreciative that he called me himself.Presti said he has not communicated with Russell Westbrook via phone, but he said they have exchanged text messages, and Westbrook has spoken with other staffers.Ive been attending to other parts of my duties, Presti said, but Ill talk with Russell and the other guys here, probably either tonight or tomorrow.The Thunders two meetings with Durant didnt feature any players, while the Warriors, Clippers and Celtics brought players to pitch to Durant. Presti was asked why Westbrook wasnt involved.How do you know that we didnt? Presti asked. He said Nick Collison and Westbrook met with Durant alone before any of tthe team meetings started.ddddddddddddI think its important to give those guys time away from a meeting setting so that they can talk openly and candidly, Presti said. I talk all the time about those guys being the founding fathers, and those guys, they need to have those conversations that are authentic, and I feel really good that, given the outcome, that they had time together one more time as teammates.ESPNs Brian Windhorst reported Monday after Durants decision that the Thunder would look to try to negotiate an extension with Westbrook -- who will be an unrestricted free agent next summer -- or possibly explore trade options for him. Presti said hes confident that Westbrook will embrace the new solo leadership role.Russell Westbrook is a force of nature, he said. He is a true leader in the sense that he takes it on. He takes it on, and I think hell take this on as well. He has helped establish the standards that we work by, as have Kevin and the other players that have come before us. But this is a different situation, and I know that Russell will adjust and adapt to that.With Durant now coming off their books, the Thunder can get to the neighborhood of $20 million in cap space, and Presti said the team had contingency plans in place should Durant exit. He said the team wont react quickly but will instead take a few days to process its options.Well sit down, well look at where we are, and as I said before, like, I think, if youre impulsive, you can be limited, he said. We dont want to limit ourselves. We want to take a hard look at whats best for the Thunder, and thats always how weve conducted our business.
