One of the strangest box scores ever. Win 52-14 but get outgained 416-225. A 90 yard punt return for a TD, a 72 yard KO return, and plus 4 in turnovers.

The saints had a similar box score while losing to the Panthers!

I think Ben Johnson does hit the open market after this season, no matter what the Lions do in the post season. Watching that game vs GB, they sure looked good. Still need a pass rusher to replace hutch. Their offense cannot be stopped!

It feels like this is their year. The Niners are hit hard with injuries, and we've seen a power shift where the NFC has been doing quite well H2H vs the AFC. Still have KC and Balt on the other side, but Balt is a team that has lost to the Browns and Raiders. And how often can KC keep winning close games? GB was a potential stumbling block for the Lions but no problem.

I agree. Certainly adverse weather conditions in GB as well, raining and windy all game long, proved no difficulty to the Lions.

The Houston game looks like a tricky spot for DET. 2nd road game in a row, L2 out of 3, beat a divisional opponent on the road.
Collins back, extended rest as a home dog. DET looks too easy here.

Of course I preferred the Bears 😭

645 yards of offense yesterday and 52 points. Was it a complete laydown by Jax in the 2nd half? It was only 7-3 after the first Q.

If Houston loses tonight, I wouldn't be too sad so bad if Lions lose to the Colts. Colts division would be pretty big. Have to thread the needle. Want #1 seed. Only team that gets a bye bye.

I was wrong about Coach C. I wrote him off after his Minnesoda 4th down fg blunder. Has become the top coach in the entertainment league.

The Lions are the 3rd best team ever after WK10 according to PFF?

Behind 91' Skins and 07' Patroits

Man, Anthony Richardson is a 'little bit better' than Jamarcus Russell. Colts need to move on from him immediately. Another dominant performance out of the Lions

That seems to be the case. I never thought I would see a team better than the greatest show on turf. Gibbs/Montgomery is Faulk, St. Brown is Isaac Bruce, Jamo is Torii Holt, Goff is Kurt Warner, Ben Johnson is Mike Martz. As one who has supported this team through thick and thin, it's amazing that we are finally a Super Bowl Conteder.

BTW, the Lions started lining up playoff tickets. I believe it's the NFL who sets the price.

last year, wild card round, divisional round was $500 for my 2 tickets each game, if we hosted the NFC championship those tickets were $700 for the pair.

This year, all 3 rounds are as follows, $575, $920, $1175...socking it to the fans!

I expect my season ticket cost next year to skyrocket as well.

We have a family event this year for thanksgiving, I sold my tickets on stubhub, getting $1,650 for the pair after the BS stubhub fees.

I plan on going to the Raiders/Falcons Monday night game on Dec 16. Can they move that Raiders game back to Sunday or add the Bills to the Monday night card?

Thanksgiving game more likely to go Bears than over. Lions banged up and in good playoff position. They will do just enough to win. Hopefully just enough to cover. Lions and under.

Not this time. Nice boring game. If I can get she's perfect score prop, 20-0 in honour of Jeff Komlo's 1979 Thanksgiving vs Bears. High point of his "career". Next high point would be on America's Most Wanted.

In May 2004, Komlo was involved in a domestic incident with his girlfriend, Jennifer Winters. After they got into an argument, Komlo shoved her out of the car, which, in a drunken state, he later crashed. He returned home, got his SUV, and later crashed that vehicle as well. He was later convicted in Chester County, Pennsylvania on two drunk-driving charges, but didn't show up to be sentenced, which resulted in a bench warrant for his arrest.[1] In August 2005, Komlo was still on the run, and featured on America's Most Wanted.[3] He was also facing charges of cocaine possession and assault, and police wanted to question him about possible arson at his homes in West Palm Beach and Chester Springs, Pennsylvania.

Fleeing the country, Komlo ended up in Greece, working for a hair implant clinic in Athens called NHI. The clinic caters mostly to Britons, who fly to the Greek capital for something called the Choi Method, which, according to the NHI website, is "a procedure far too labour-intensive to operate in the UK."

Komlo was killed in an automobile crash in southern Athens on March 14, 2009.[4] Pennsylvania law enforcement initially questioned whether he might have faked his own death to avoid the charges.[5] Five days later, the Acting Chief Chester County sheriff's detective, Jim Vito, stated that the authorities were satisfied that Komlo was in fact dead.[5]
