St. Brown and Sewell have now both made back-to-back All-Pro first teams just four seasons into their NFL careers. Fox earned his first first-team nod in his fifth season in the league (he was a second-teamer as a rookie), while Joseph earned his first selection in his third year.

Detroit Lions’ playoff loss to the Washington Commanders Goff had three interceptions, two of which came in the first half. One was returned for a touchdown, albeit the return should have been called back for a blatant missed helmet-to-helmet hit that nearly concussed Goff.

Jett Modkins, the team’s assistant special teams coach, interviewed with the San Francisco 49ers for their vacant special teams coordinator position. Modkins has worked with Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp since the pair landed here back in 2021. The 49ers announced the interview with a tweet on Sunday night.
