Lions coach Dan Campbell was almost unintentionally prophetic late last week when talking about the challenge of playing the Vikings on the road. But the Lions overcame the critical error this time with Bates' game-winner.
So you missed the key block to help Gibbs Score . The Lions will take what is offered as far as weapons. Jamo and LaPorta were not the best options yesterday.
Not a great game by Campbell: He should have declined the penalty on the incomplete pass (was called a pass but replays showed it was oob) that would have made it 3rd and 20. He accepted another penalty later that quarter that he also should have declined. And I’m not going to mention the fake punt on 4th and 7 from our own 30. Totally unnecessary risk at that point.
St. Brown was a beast today. Goff nearly perfect. Branch and the defense did just enough. I might need a defibrillator for these kinds of games! Go Lions!!!!!!!!!!!
What happened to Jamo yesterday? I didn't see any analysis but suspect he kept other defenders occupied.

I almost threw my Campbell bobblehead at the tv on that fake punt

WE. NEED. A. PASS. RUSHER.
I was not impressed with Minny. They are basically a one trick pony with Jefferson who got a nice push-off on Robertson just before making a TD catch.
We need pass rush. Proof was visible today. We can only do so much schematically.
BRANCH!!! Again the best player on the field. OK Maybe Gibbs too!
Massive win. Let's go get some help on the edge and give this team its best chance to do what it's capable or doing.

"Going back to Dallas and extending into the third quarter against Minnesota on Sunday, the QB completed 20 straight."
...I think you meant "30 straight" there Justin since he was 12 for 12 before the tip ball
No, 20. 15 of 15 in this game and last five vs. dallas
Im dumb... was thinking 18 for 18 from Seattle game! DERP!
Justin just dropped the mic....like he used to drop his phone.
The big take I got out of this game is that Campbell has,full confidence in Bates. I don't remember them settling for a FG before they had to before.
vikes fan here, love your content and I respect the hell out of the lions. Great game, we'll see you again in january
Good luck to you guys for the rest of the season
Awww, love you too, Cass.
