00:00everybody involved that was a key player on offense,

00:03Jameer Gibbs, Amon Ross St. Brown, Sam Laporta,

00:06Jamison Williams, and Christian,

00:08that's what we talked about.

00:09For this football team to be able to continue

00:12to have success, to win football games,

00:15to give people confidence that they can make

00:17a post-season push, that offense has to perform

00:21like they did against the Bears.

00:23And that's something that can give a lot of fans confidence

00:27that if Jared Goff and his connection to Jamison Williams

00:30can continue deep threat option, Amon Ross St. Brown,

00:34the sure-handed possession receiver,

00:36and then we'll talk about it, Jameer Gibbs

00:38and what he's able to do as a primary running back,

00:42my goodness, this offense can be prolific

00:44and this football team can hang their hat on something

00:47that can help them win games

00:49and help them get to the Super Bowl.

00:50What was your reaction to the Lions' dominant

00:53two touchdown victory against the Chicago Bears?

00:57I mean, the first half,

00:59you saw the Lions go with the fast start.

01:01And you saw the Lions sending their record to 13 and two.

01:05Yeah, I thought that the final score

01:08maybe was a little bit closer

01:09than how the game actually fell.

01:11I thought the Lions started fast.

01:13We discussed kind of what the Lions needed

01:16throughout the week in order to come out on top,

01:18and I thought that fast start was essential.

01:20And you saw that, they scored points

01:22on each of their first five drives.

01:24They had a couple of takeaways.

01:25really set the tone for the rest of the way. I thought Jameer Gibbs looked awesome as the

01:29lead running back and then you had the big play to Jamison Williams and really it was

01:34just a complete effort from the offense. There were some hiccups a little bit. They slowed

01:38down in the second half and defensively they had a little bit of trouble containing Caleb

01:43Williams and his mobility and his ability to extend plays as well. But all in all a

01:48pretty solid effort for the Lions and they now move to 13-2 on the year. They got some

01:53help as far as clinching the one seed in the NFC North is concerned and so these last

01:59two games they still have a lot to play for.
