Löwenbrau (3) LionsAfter a few weeks off, the spotlight returns and is falling on the Löwenbrau (3) Lions. The Lions have a strong pedigree, having won the league championship in 2005 and showing up in 3rd place in 2007. Owner 3 Lions (not a rookie) has to be pleased with the team's red-hot 4-0 start.
How are they doing it? The Lions were fortunate enough to draw the #2 spot in the draft and grabbed Steven Jackson in the first round. Despite Jackson's poor performance this year, that was the easy part of the draft. The Lions really showed their mettle with their subsequent draft picks, particularly in picking up the passing combination of Tom Brady and Randy Moss. This Patriot duo are both in the top 10 scorers for the season to date, with Moss being the only non-quarterback in the top 10. The Cowboys, drafted in the 7th round, are the #2 defense so far this year. Late round draft picks Greg Jennings and LenDale White are also showing strong signs for the remainder of the year.

Will the Löwenbrau (3) Lions continue to maul their way through the league? Will the absence of Steven Jackson catch up to the team? If Jackson starts playing like he did last year, could this team be unstoppable? Will 3 Lions trade in his Bears jersey for a Patriots jersey? Stay tuned.
