TWENTYMAN: 5 stats that stand out following Lions’ Week 6 victory

What it means: Lions’ average rushing yards per game, which ranks fourth in the NFL

Twentyman: What’s making Detroit so dangerous offensively right now is the way Goff is playing in the passing game, and also how the Lions have rushed the football consistently all season. Only Baltimore (205.3), Green Bay (167.2) and San Francisco (158.0) average more rushing yards per game than the Lions. Detroit’s averaging at least four-plus-yards per run on 50.3 percent of their rushes, which also ranks fourth in the NFL, and their 24 runs of 10-plus yards is Top 10 in the league.

What it means: Opponent passer rating inside the 30-yard line

Twentyman: The three most important statistics in football are turnovers, third-down percentage and red-zone efficiency. Opponents are finding it tougher and tougher in the passing game the closer they get to Detroit’s end zone. When inside the 30-yard line, opposing passers have completed just 18-of-39 attempts with three touchdowns and four interceptions with that 41.6 rating, which is the lowest in the NFL.

The Lions rank in the Top 10 in the NFL in red-zone efficiency with opponents scoring a touchdown less than half of the time (46.7 percent).

Chickens, geese found at vacant home after nonprofit reports them stolen

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.

The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.

The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.

Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.

“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”

The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.

“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
