This week, NFL Network continues to examine each team with its “32 Teams in 32 Days” series on NFL Total Access. Tonight at 7:00 PM ET, Detroit Lions defensive end Cliff Avril joins analyst Jamie Dukes, NFL Network/NFL.com reporter Steve Wyche and host Scott Hanson to preview the upcoming season for the Lions, his contract situation and the rest of the NFC North.

Below is the upcoming “32 Teams in 32 Days” schedule for the week:

– Wednesday, June 20 – Houston Texans (interview with defensive end J.J. Watt)

– Thursday, June 21 – Green Bay Packers (interview with wide receiver Randall Cobb)

– Friday, June 22 – Oakland Raiders (interview with running back Darren McFadden)

On Monday, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll spoke with NFL Network’s Lindsay Rhodes about the team’s three quarterbacks, running back Marshawn Lynch’s contract extension and competing for a second NFC West division title in three years.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d829f0896/Pete-Carroll-on-Seahawks-QB-situation

– “We don’t know yet. We’re going to stay with Tarvaris [Jackson] as number one; he maintained that through the OTAs. But Matt [Flynn] is really ready to go, and so is Russell [Wilson]. They performed very well in our camps, their numbers were really close. They just deserve the chance to keep battling.” – Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll on where the team stands with their quarterback situation

 

– “We’re going after this division. That’s the only way we know. We’re trying to own this NFC West. It was great to get it the first year, we fell off this next year; the Niners did a great job but we’re going right back after it again. Our young guys are not as young this time around and they’re growing up and they’re growing up fast.” – Carroll on what a successful season would be for the Seahawks

 

 

Currently, there are six starting quarterbacks in the NFL who have won a Super Bowl: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers.

NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah lists his top seven quarterbacks who have the best chance to hoist the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in his new column on NFL.com:

1. Matt Schaub – Houston Texans

2. Alex Smith – San Francisco 49ers

3. Michael Vick – Philadelphia Eagles

4. Joe Flacco – Baltimore Ravens

5. Andy Dalton – Cincinnati Bengals

6. Tony Romo – Dallas Cowboys

7. Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions
