I'll be honest, I didn't watch the game. But that's a great stat day against that def. And that rookie looked great in the clips I saw on deadspin....

It's a win that everyone had down as a loss ...

Go Lions. 😀

I hope somebody he a talk with him about holding onto the ball a little longer after the catch. The 45 yard bomb... he caught it, but he got up and threw it into the air as he was getting to his feet. I had Calvin "completing the process" flashbacks and thought "Now THAT would be SOL if that catch was overturned"

I was going through the "same old Lions" rant after the pick six. I found the Steelers game. When I checked back in to see how bad the LOLions were losing, I was pleasantly surprised to see them in the game. I checked back again later just in time to see a really pretty touchdown pass to this new rookie wideout. And some hustling, swarming defense. They really looked good!
Bottom line: ONE down. FIFTEEN to go. A W is a W. It gave them some validation and confidence. I had them at 7-9. I'll be very happy to eat crow if they do better than that.

I don't understand how the Calvin rule didn't reverse that catch either .... The fucking nfl never makes sense year to year.

Does going on the road on MNF and getting a win count as a big game?

Negative, because it looks like the Giants are garbage this year.

That being said, the team looks well rounded. Defense bailed out the offense numerous times early. Stafford wasn't great, but he didn't need to be. It was a team win for sure. I'd give him a solid B+ on his play.

And what the fuck got into Ebron? All of a sudden he looks like a decent TE! 8 targets with 7 catches, and a TD.

The real test will be next Sunday. Atlanta coming into The D fresh off a win over Green Bay. Definitely one of the biggest games the Lions have had in a long time. Hopefully they step up for it.
