00:00Defense there were four guys that played defense for the Lions last night

00:06Think about this that we're not Detroit Lions one week ago today

00:13One week ago today

00:15They were not Detroit Lions

00:17last night three of them started

00:24You had guys that played significant snaps

00:29Defensively that have been here for less than a week

00:36Less than a week Jonah Williams started and played 25 snaps

00:40Miles Adams played 19 snaps at edge rusher

00:46Jamal Adams played eight snaps started the game

00:52It's crazy

00:55But Quan Alexander Quan Alexander played 17 snaps

01:01It's it's a mate Miles Adams I mentioned him 19 snaps

01:04These are these are guys that have been here for less than a week

01:08less than a week

01:11And what are the Lions do they beat one of the better teams

01:14In the NFC a division team a team that was gonna give Detroit their best best punch and look over the years

01:21Let me just say this about Green Bay. Okay, I'm enjoying beating them

01:24And and we've really talked about trying to send a message and the reason you send a message

01:29What is that? What does it really do?

01:31Well teams teams that are doing what the Lions are doing are teams that around to stay

01:35These are teams that are gonna compete for Super Bowls

01:38When you're winning

01:40multiple back-to-back division championships, and they haven't done it yet, but they have a chance to do it and

01:47Yesterday took a they took a big step towards doing exactly that. So

01:51Here are the Lions at 12 and 1 and

01:54Look all the analytics stuff, but you know, I heard wojo and the Fox to pregame there with the birch kid TJ

02:01Representing for our station looking great guys, and they dress up nicely

02:05Don't they they are a tie wojo was the one that said the whole analytics thing

02:09They have 80% chance at the one seed with a win and 40-something percent chance of the one seed with a loss

02:14Even with a loss they would still be the favorite and by the analytics to to win the one seed

02:21But now I mean now they're in great shape. They're in great shape to win the one seed and we all know the significance of that

02:28there are a lot of teams last night that found themselves rooting for the Green Bay Packers and

02:35Look the Packers are good. They're really really good Jordan. Love is really really good, but

02:41Simply put right now. They're not as good as the Detroit Lions

02:44Not as good as the Detroit Lions. I have a lot of respect for that team in that organization

02:49They have run this division for 20 years

02:53But the Lions are doing a lot of stuff to let the Packers know that the run is over that is their division now and

03:00Got to close the deal

03:01There's a lot they got it

03:02They got to finish the job and I heard that a lot last night the postgame finish the job got to finish the job

03:08There's still work to be done

03:10But man, did they not up and make some plays last night, didn't they?

03:13With the game on the line specifically offensively

03:16They made some plays and they did enough defensively like credit the guys that were out there battling to make plays

03:24Defensively, there's some interesting trends from that game defensively

03:29But

03:30most importantly in the end the Lions use all three phases to win the game and

03:39Survive in advance and and look they should get healthier

03:42They should get guys back when you talk about guys that are not

03:46Not on the IR, but just out cuz you know

03:49I mean, let's we all saw what happened last night Brian branch has to leave the game late. I was cramping a Lee McNeil and

03:57Concussion protocol stuff they although they I read concussion protocol. They were very specific

04:02It was head injury during the game, but they weren't calling it a concussion DJ reader was out

04:07He should be back Levi on Zarek a out should be back. Josh Pascoe out should be back. Iman should be back

04:13Taylor Decker should be back

04:15Other guys, I mean do they get Derek Barnes back? Do they get rake straw back?

04:19Did I get my Lafambo back? Did they get Alex Anzalone back before the end of the regular season Jalen Reeves?

04:25Maybe you know

04:26there are guys that can come back and help this defense because when the Lions are firing on all cylinders and they and they bring

04:32The roster the whole roster. I mean nobody brings a whole roster to a fight

04:36But when they bring more than they've got to a fight

04:39That's when they start to look like that any given Sunday proof team

04:43the one that can that will can and will beat all the teams they should beat and

04:48Cannon will act and execute as if they're the best team in the NFL

04:53but I

04:55mean as you sat there and watch the game last night and

04:58You see more guys get hurt when Aleem get hurt

05:01They ends Kevin Zeitler ended up in the tent Brandt's got some cramps late and you're just like come on, man. I

05:07mean, it's it's if it weren't if there weren't so much on the line and

05:12They keep pushing up against the boundaries of what they are expected to do and keep winning games without their starting players

05:19It's almost comical how many guys have been hurt like that stat yesterday

05:23That the team with the most second most defensive players on the injured reserve

05:27I think was the Rams with seven and the Lions have 13

05:32almost twice as many

05:35So you go, all right, there's skill involved there's luck involved they're not doing this with any luck because they've had bad luck

05:43They've had bad luck as it pertains to injuries. I still get the job done

05:47They still get the job done

05:49And I know if you were there last night, we'd love to hear from the people that were there on

05:54You know the elite would appear to be an elite

05:58atmosphere at Ford Field
