The Detroit Lions beat the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, keeping them in the hunt for a possible playoff spot in the early stages of the season. But, is this what Lions fans really want?

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin, we dive into the "catch-22" that is the Detroit Lions. On one hand, they got the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, but does that really help in changing the leadership of the team? What do fans want: wins or to tank? We discuss. Also, game week for the Michigan State football team is finally here! Al touches on the Spartans and their preparation for game 1 against Rutgers this Saturday and the excitement that is Big Ten football being back. 

Episode 1697 

Al Martin is the host of Beyond the Score, a new series coming to WKAR in the fall of 2024. Al is also sports reporter for WKAR news.
