Detroit Lions!!

(11-11-2024, 08:45 AM)Fan_in_Kettering Wrote: Let’s talk about this game.  The former Portsmouth Spartans, now the Detroit Lions, had no business winning last night.  None.  Jared Goff was intercepted FIVE times.  That’s more picks than Joe Burrow has thrown ALL YEAR.  Houston led 23-7 at the half.  Goff completed half of his pass attempts which for him is terrible.

The difference is defense: Detroit held Joe Mixon to only 46 yards on 25 carries; that’s 1.8 yards per carry. The Lions picked off CJ Stroud TWICE.  That’s how you win even if your offense is sputtering.

Here's a fun fact from last night:  Since 1933, teams that have thrown five interceptions and trailed by 15 or more points are a combined 2-373-1.  The only other team to do it was the 1970 Johnny Unitas-led Colts.  Great teams, even when having a bad night, find a way to win.  

Also, the snark in this thread is hysterical.  Everyone here would kill for the Bengals to be having both the Lions' season and their coaching staff, and whether you know it or not, to have their owner.  After generations of dolts they finally hit on a Ford that actually wants to win.  Let's see how many generations of Browns/Blackburns it takes before we're so lucky.
