The Detroit Lions got a big win on Saturday night in one of the cleanest games they've played all season long. One of the big reasons their offense was able to come together and play the way they did is becasue Frank Ragnow was able to overcome surgery and play a really great, wait. Did you just say surgery? 

That's right. Frank Ragnow had surgery shortly after the Saints game per his brother Jack

Ragnow banged his knee up against the Saints and was forced to come out of the game. This caused him to miss last Sunday's game against the Bears. What we didn't know until last night was that he had meniscus surgery shortly after the Lions win over the Saints. 

That would explain why he missed the Bears game, but I don't know if you can explain how he was able to overcome that surgery in less than two weeks and go out and keep Jared Goff's uniform clean most of the night. 

Ragnow didn't just have a good game after meniscus surgery, he had a great game after meniscus surgery. That's just some old school football stuff right there. Ragnow is one tough son of a bitch and he should be the Walter Payton Man of the Year award recipient this year after this game and, of course, all the great work he does in the community. What a guy.
