1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Mahomes back throws. It is please pick off, picked off

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: by the Lions. Brian Branch with it left side.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: He's going, baby, He's going to the house. Touchdown Detroit Lions.

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Deflected in the air, Branch ran under it and he

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: took it all the way back. Touchdown Detroit Lions. And

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: I was saying that quite a bit on Thursday night.

7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: There was a lot of those.

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: He was not saying that a whole lot about the

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: green Bay Packers wheel the second half, especially not in

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: the first half. And it was really peage, just a

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: dominant performance. Welcome to the twenty in the Huddle podcast,

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm Tim twentyman, he's PJA clerk. Every week after the

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: Lions game, we hop on and we wrap about it

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. And boy was that was one heck

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: of a performance by the Detroit Lions. Beating green Bay

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: thirty four to twenty. They improved to three and one.

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: They take over first place in the nf SEE North

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: and look after a win like that in front of

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: a national audience, they looked like the cream of the

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: crop in the North.

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: I think that game is going to be circled for

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: a long time. That is going to be one of

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: those moments that I think everybody nationally locally just kind

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: of keeps coming back to throughout the year for the Lions.

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: And let's start with the defense, because in that first half,

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can play better defensive football

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: than the Lions did in the first half. I mean,

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: what was it, twenty two plays in twenty one total yards? Yea,

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: I think they were one of six on third down

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: green Bay. I mean it was just it was dominant.

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: I think it went field goal, punt, punt, interception, punt, punt,

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: and they.

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: Field goal on a drive that started at nineteen.

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was an interception. I mean, they were unbelievable.

35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: And look, you knew Green Bay was going to make

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: a run in the second half, and they did, and

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: they but but that defense, the lead never got within ten.

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: You never felt like that game was slipping away because

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: the defense is stepped up and either you know, force

40
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: downs or made a big turnover. Kudos to Jerry Jacobs

41
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: two interceptions in the game. They had five sacks coming

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: off seven sacks last week against Atlanta, So it's just

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: it was a dominant defensive performance. And kudos to Aaron

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Glenn for the plan that he put together, and kudos

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: for the players to execute that plan. What's that the

46
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: four straight game now without one hundred yards rushing? What

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: did they have rushing in the game twenty seven or

48
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: seven vers two point three? You made them one dimensional

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and again for a second straight week. And you do

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: that in the NFL, it's easier to play defensive football

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: and it's easier to win football games.

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Jordan Love thirty six pass attempts, got

53
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: sacked five times for forty one dropbacks. Ridder was forty

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: five last week. If you're making a young quarterback throw

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: could drop back forty times, you're probably in a good spot.

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: You'd love that. As defensive coordinator, you let Aiden Hutchinson

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: and commission those guys inside tee up and go after them.

58
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: And those guys have been great. They've they've dominated the

59
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage last two weeks.

60
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: I thought the the and we saw us a little

61
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: bit last week. Aaron Glenn kind of reset everything after

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: that Seattle game with the just the lack of the

63
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: pass rush and no one was getting home. You got

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: the pressures, but nobody was getting home every time. And

65
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: Gino did a good job of getting the ball out quick.

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: But the last two weeks, I think we've seen more

67
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 2: stunts from this defensive line. Yeah.

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: Ever, I mean you mentioned it during the game year,

69
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: how the stunt game was just playing and working out.

70
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: I mean a I think gets you Hutchinson inside, which

71
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: is where he's been better this year. Not that he's

72
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: been bad on tackles, but he's been unbelievable rushing from

73
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: the inside. And if you have Ali McNeil now stacking

74
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: two games phenomenal Alie McNeil games in a row, you

75
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: run those two off each other. I mean, the list

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: of offensive last secund handle that there might be none and.

77
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Credits guys like Benito Jones who got a sack last week,

78
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Guys Isaiah Bugs who got a seck this week. They're

79
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: contributing to that as well.

80
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: Charles had a sack last week in this week too.

81
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you're all everybody is coming through. It's the bunches.

82
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: Everything that didn't happen the first two weeks, yeah, has

83
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: shown up the last two weeks.

84
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: And they've played terrific and it's been really a catalyst

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: for their two wins over the last two weeks. And

86
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: then you flip over to the other side of the

87
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: football and forty three rushes two hundred and eleven yards,

88
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: a four point nine average.

89
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: Davin Montgomery's a really good player, MANA Montgomery after has it,

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: really good player, questionable coming.

91
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: In with a thigh Brewers Now we talked to I

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: talked to him this week and he said he felt

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: pretty good. If it was up to him, he'd play.

94
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: He was day to day, but he was feeling pretty good.

95
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: But to come in here after being questionable, after missing

96
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: last week, and then you'd be a workhorse like that,

97
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: thirty two car two care He's got stronger as the

98
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: game went on, Peach, I mean, he was better at

99
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: the end than he was at the beginning. And to

100
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: finish with a hundred and twenty one yards, had those

101
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, and I think most importantly for him his

102
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: first win against Yeah, that was true.

103
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: That was huge. And and that's a guy that's been

104
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: in this division, has played at lambeau Field before and

105
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: knows what this means. And man, he showed up big time.

106
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 2: I mean, thirty two carries is no joke. In twenty

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: twenty three, and you saw, I thought the left side

108
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: of the offensive line in particular Taylor Decker, who played

109
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: phenomenal in.

110
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: John Taylor Yeah, because you know he.

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: Was hurting, but he wanted this one real bad. Everybody

112
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: wanted this one real bad. I thought Taylor and Jonah

113
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: were great. Josh Reynolds through a couple of blocks that

114
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: opened up holes. I mean, the Lions are one of

115
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: the better wide receiver blocking teams in a week, and

116
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: I think you should.

117
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: Receiver coach Antoine Randall l was pretty good when he played,

118
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: and he knows the best of all times, Ward wasn't

119
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: gonna let any of his teammates not be blocked.

120
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: No, So that tracks and you saw that tonight. Josh

121
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: Reynolds on I think it was the first touchdown, had

122
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: an unbelievable block in the end zone, just pushed his

123
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: man completely out of the hole. Laporta good again, brought

124
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: right good again. I mean, if the run game is

125
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: working like this, it's it's going to be tough to

126
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: start with David Montgomery back.

127
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: There, because that's where Jared's really at his best. His

128
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: play action. I think you look at the numbers last

129
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: year and even how he's beginning.

130
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: He's the best play action quarterback in football.

131
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: It was one hundred and thirty I think was his

132
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: passer rating last year. And play action passes like that's

133
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: what his game is predicated on. And he's terrific with

134
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: the ball fakes and getting out in space and making

135
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: good decisions and quick decisions. He throws a nice deep ball,

136
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: you know. And look he threw an interception early. That's

137
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: three games in a row now. He said after the game, look,

138
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: I've got to clean that up. Yeah, look that's going

139
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: to happen, right, Those things happen. But then he comes

140
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: back touchdowns, touchdowns, touchdown touchdowns, and moves the ball. And

141
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: I thought the way he orchestrated that fourth quarter drive,

142
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: what was it, twelve plays, it's seventy five yard It's

143
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: took almost nice.

144
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: He had to sit on the ball.

145
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: It was perfect with a point lead, I mean it was.

146
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: It was perfect. And you look at he distributed the

147
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: ball around. Five catches for Saint Brown, four for laport

148
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: of four for Gibbs. Reynolds had three catches for sixty

149
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: nine yards.

150
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: It's a different statue than it was last week where

151
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: you only had two wide receivers targeted. I mean, it

152
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: was really it was definitely and I mean, can we

153
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: just two minutes on Josh Reynolds that play down the sideline.

154
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that was.

155
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: A perfect ball from Jerry Goff. Let you just give

156
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: him a chance one on one coverage with no safety

157
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: over the top. Give him a chance and then Josh

158
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: Reynolds man moving the chance one hand.

159
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: That's a trust throw.

160
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: That's that's several years.

161
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: Guy played with for seven years. And the two talk

162
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: about all that all the time, the chemistry that they have,

163
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: the trust Jared has to throw a fifty to fifty

164
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: ball that his guy will come up with it. Look,

165
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: he has been a terrific addition to this football team.

166
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: And look, we haven't even seen Jmo yet. And how

167
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: teams are going to have to play Detroit a little

168
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: bit different once Jamison Williams comes back to be doing

169
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: this without their biggest getting explosive plays, without the explosive play. Guy, Yeah,

170
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: it seems good. It's good.

171
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: Way of what seems good. Eh, I'll take it.

172
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: I'll take it, and I'll take three and one.

173
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: And that's the important part. The explosive play is what.

174
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: First place in the division. Look, you get one on

175
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: the road, And Jared talked about this after the game,

176
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: it almost means a little bit more because those are

177
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: the hard ones to get. Division games are important anyways,

178
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: but you go on the road and get a division game,

179
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: it almost feels like you're getting one and a half.

180
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: You're getting two. And now you look at Chicago, you

181
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: look at Minnesota. They're fighting to avoid zero to four

182
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: to start Green Bays two and two. They've got, you know,

183
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: some issues.

184
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: You've given yourself some cushion yourself, which is really important

185
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: because all these other teams have to play Kansas City

186
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: now too. Yeah, and that's not going to obviously be easy.

187
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: The Bears are already lost, so the other two have

188
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: that one coming up on the schedule.

189
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost like you gain a game there and

190
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: then you gain a big one here too. You're just

191
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: you're putting yourself in a good situation. If you're Detroit. Look,

192
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: you're playing complimentary football. We've talked about both sides, special teams.

193
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: Riley Patterson still perfect.

194
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: Khalif had a couple of good returns too.

195
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: Returns Fox was okay. I thought he had one on

196
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: the side of his foot a little bit. Maybe not

197
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: his best day, but.

198
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: The coverage was great too. I mean Keishawn Nixon is

199
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: the best kick returner in the league and had nowhere

200
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: to go.

201
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: No, they are playing complimentary football. They're dealing with some

202
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: injuries early on. They've got guys stepping up all over

203
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Guys are making plays. It

204
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: just it looks different.

205
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: Look.

206
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: I've been covering this team for a long time now,

207
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: fifteen years, and this just looks and feels different. You know,

208
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: the way they've stepped up in big moments, the way

209
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: the offense is, Look the way this defense is played

210
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: to start the year. I don't think a team's rush

211
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: for one hundred yards yet they I mean, they've been

212
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: to thick and it just seems to all be coming together.

213
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Knock on wood. You stay healthy, you've got now a

214
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: long break, you get a long weekend, and look, you've

215
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: got some young quarterbacks. Now you're you're facing you know,

216
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, and so it just well

217
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: we'll see on Bryce, but it just seems like it's

218
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: all kind of falling together early on.

219
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's it's Look, I love that you're going

220
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: back home after this. I think it's really important to

221
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 2: have a home game and the crowd is going to be.

222
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: Almost felt like a home game here in the fourth quarter,

223
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: its fifteen thousand, It had to have been fifteen thousand

224
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: in here.

225
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially once all the Packer fans cleared out

226
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: at the end and everybody just started coming down. I

227
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: mean that was it was nuts.

228
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: It was like it was it was bigger than it

229
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: was last week Week eighteen, and it was baier than Arrowhead.

230
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, these these fans are traveling. I think you

231
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: can feel the excitement around this team is.

232
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 2: A nice trip too. I expect we'll get a pretty

233
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: decent crowd there.

234
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, people just want to be around this this football team,

235
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: and kudos for them for giving them something to cheer about.

236
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is it was Listen, There's always

237
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: gonna be things to nitpick, right, Like the first couple

238
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: drives coming out of halftime were not ideal offensively and defensively.

239
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: You let a couple penalties prolong their first drive coming

240
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: at halftime to lead to a touchdown.

241
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: And then you had a little bit.

242
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: Of coverage breakdown that let's Christian wants to get wide

243
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: open coverage breakdown and let's Jayden Ree get wide open

244
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: to the two point conversion. But you just bounce back.

245
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: It was. It was resilient when they had to be,

246
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 2: and they gave themselves literally a twenty four point cushion.

247
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: Usually those things happen and then its snowballs, and then

248
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: it leads to something else, and something else and something else,

249
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: and then we've seen it time and time again. Then

250
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: eventually it leads to a loss. Yeah, but no, I

251
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: mean they had some adversity. You knew Green Bay was

252
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna this.

253
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: This game was happened. Last week's game wasn't going to

254
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: be eighteen unanswered points last week.

255
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: They're too good on that side of the field. They're

256
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: just defensively, they've got weapons on offense. They were gonna

257
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: make a run. But when they did, you had to counter.

258
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: You had to do that counter punch. And that's what

259
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: Detroit did, especially offensively with that eight plus minute drive

260
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. I thought that one then the game. Look,

261
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: they stepped up in all three phases, got a big win,

262
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: and now you get a little bit of break, You

263
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: get to go back home. You're feeling pretty good about yourself.

264
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: We will obviously break down everything Carolina on next week.

265
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: On a twenty minute in the huddle and then we'll

266
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: be back at Ford Field after the game to break

267
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: a good one. What we hope is another win and

268
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: get to four and one and kind of keep this

269
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: thing rolling.

270
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a it's a good time to be

271
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: a Lions fan right now. I mean, that was everybody.

272
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: Everybody's feeling really good after that one. It's fun to

273
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: cover winning football. This is I mean, this is great, man,

274
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: this is great.

275
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: This is great. We'll be back with you guys next week.

276
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: M
