34-31. Big win for Detroit. They get themselves to 12-1 now on the season.
00:06
I thought this was without question the biggest play of the game. We had a lot of touchdowns last night.
00:11
Up and down. I mean, Tim Patrick scoring two touchdowns for the Lions.
00:17
Josh Jacobs had a hat trick for the Packers, but here it is.
00:21
About 40 seconds left in the game. Fourth and one for the Lions, deep in Packer territory.
00:28
First down ices it. Gets stopped. Game stays tied. Here's Al on Amazon Prime.
00:34
They are going. And then Goff falls down, but Montgomery is able to pick up the first down.
00:41
So Goff falls down as he's making the handoff, and they should seal it.
00:46
They'll run the clock down, pick the field goal. What a call!
00:50
Yeah, what a call. So listen, it is what it is. They got it done.
00:56
They've been getting it done all year. All they do is win. They always find a way.
01:01
Maybe they are the team. Maybe they are that team.
01:05
Maybe they are the ones that are going to have that season where they go all the way and get it done.
01:11
I got to tell you, though, I have never seen anything like that egg they laid last year against San Francisco.
01:17
I mean to tell you, they had it all figured out, didn't they?
01:21
It reminded me of the Falcons in the Super Bowl. It was that bad.
01:26
It really was. The only difference was the Falcons was the Super Bowl.
01:30
This was the title game, and they screwed that up nice and juicy.
01:34
So believe me, they got that on their shoulders. They're trying to get rid of that monkey.
01:39
There's no doubt about it. And they just keep winning, and everyone thinks it's so automatic.
01:44
I'm telling you, this team, Philly, they're as good as the Lions.
01:50
And I mean, they mean business, and I hate to say it.
01:53
I'm not a fan, but I have to play them, the Steelers, next week at the Linc. I'm scared to death.
01:58
I mean, that's an L, L, loss, win, loss.
02:03
I mean, I think Philadelphia can beat the Lions. I really do.
02:07
Everyone thinks the Lions are so done deal, automatic.
02:11
I mean, that's not the way the NFL tournament works.
02:14
The playoffs are there for a reason. They're crazy. They're crazy, the playoffs.
02:21
And that game last year against the Niners, they had a 24-7 lead at halftime in the NFC title game,
02:27
and they ended up losing 34-31 to San Francisco in that game.
02:32
And the Lions play the Bills next week. That's going to be a massive game in Detroit,
02:37
as Josh Allen will come a-calling into fourth field.
02:40
I think the Bills can beat the Lions at SoFi this week and then go right there and beat them.
02:46
That's how good I think Buffalo is.
02:49
I think they can as well. Here is Dan Campbell on what this win meant for the Lions,
02:55
and they're going to remember it for a long time.
02:57
I told the team, this will be one of those you never forget.
03:00
So in golf, pregame, I said, man, you've played all these games, you had this long career.
03:06
And I'm sure there's some, you probably don't remember everything when you've played as long.
03:11
And I said, you will never forget this one. You will never forget this game.
03:15
And I think a lot of it is just that, what we've had to overcome, the hand we were dealt.
03:20
And I just love the fact our guys don't make excuses, man.
03:23
They just find a way. And everybody on this team believed we were going to win that game
03:30
and we were going to find a way. And we did it again. We did it again. Guys did it.
03:36
Listen, I don't buy that, that this is a game that they'll never forget.
03:43
I come from the side of the river. You remember title games in Super Bowls.
03:49
You do not remember some game in Week 14 against your division rival who you play twice a year.
03:56
When you play, like the Steelers played in Ravens so many times, twice a year, every year.
04:00
Every team in the division, twice a year, every year.
04:02
If you play 10 years in the league, do you think they remember all these games?
04:07
It's like a bad dream. They bleed right into one another.
04:11
I don't believe that for one minute. I'll tell you the game they remember.
04:14
And I told you this before. No one ever forgets their heartbreaking losses.
04:19
I've said this a million times. No one wants to hear it.
04:23
I've been in a ton of championship basketball games.
04:26
And I literally, Mafia's been in them with me. You only remember the losses.
04:32
You don't even remember the wins. I do not remember the wins.
04:35
I remember all of the losses, like it was an ex-wife cleaning you out in divorce court.
04:40
I mean to tell you, they remember the Niner game last year is what they remember.
04:46
They don't remember this game last night. You'll remember this game the rest of your life, my ass.
04:50
You remember that choke job in the NFC title game? I guarantee you that.
04:54
Because I'll guarantee you that big galoof. He wakes up in the middle of the night sweating going,
04:58
Ah, the Niners. Ah, ah, oh God.
05:02
I'm telling you, they only remember title games and losses. That's it.
05:06
All they care about is money, and they only remember big losses. That's it.
05:10
Only remember big losses. And I don't know where he's at.
05:14
You know, everything's against us. You're 12-1.
05:17
Relax, Dan. I like Dan a lot. I like Dan's fire.
05:21
I like him too, but come on.
05:23
But relax with everyone against the stuff.
05:26
Like the whole world would love to see Detroit actually win something for once in football.
05:30
And let's remember this. He still hasn't won anything.
05:33
Still has not won.
05:34
Yeah, I've been hearing about how great he is and how great they are.
05:38
And they haven't won a shot.
05:40
You know what? Let's say they don't lose another game in the regular season.
05:44
You want to know what 16-1 is in the regular season?
05:46
It's just like in the NHL when they hang those President's Trophy banners up.
05:51
Regular season champion. Nobody cares.
05:53
No one cares.
05:54
It's what you do in January and playing in the big game. That's it.
06:00
This regular season stuff is nonsense.
06:02
Every game they play every year, and then they go to the playoffs and lay an egg,
06:05
and that's what they remember.
06:07
That's it. That's what it's all about.
06:09
Got to change the narratives in January.
06:11
As for the Packers side of things, Matt LaFleur, as we were kind of mentioning earlier,
06:16
just didn't like that it took the offense a bunch of series before they actually got in the game.
06:21
I thought we just started, especially on the offensive side of the ball, too slow.
06:26
I mean, we go punt, punt, fumble, then we score a touchdown.
06:30
It's only a handful of plays that separate these types of games.
06:35
And like I told our team, we're going to have to earn the right to potentially come back here.
06:40
It's not going to be easy, and we've got to put in the work.
06:45
But I'm confident in the resiliency of our group and that they're going to continue to fight
06:51
and push each other to get better and stay connected
06:55
because I do think we have a pretty good football team.
06:59
I think that they do as well.
07:01
And Mike, I think one of the reasons they're so good is I see how they run things there.
07:06
I figured out how they run things.
07:08
Everyone's young. They have no old players.
07:11
Everyone is young.
07:13
There's not one guy over 25 years old on that football team.
07:16
So they go with the draft. They go with young.
07:19
They go with talent. They go with speed.
07:22
And I think he's a great coach.
07:24
Obviously, he's been in huge successful moments.
07:27
And I think, and I'm going to say this, they had him right where they wanted him last night.
07:32
He was 31 apiece.
07:34
If they play him again, I don't care if it's in Ford Field or if it's in hell,
07:38
I think the Packers can beat him.
