I complained about this a lot during the week and it's still driving me bananas. Why is TE2 out-repping WR3 when TE2 is a practice squad lifer and WR3 cost you 3 3rd rounders and is playing well? Why does Ricci have the same snap count as Jamo? Ponderous personnel usage from the Lions O

Best audio mixing of a halftime show shot in a stadium I've seen in ages

Halftime box. Vikings have negative net passing yards

No return man back and the Vikings punt goes into the EZ. That's quietly awful special teams for MIN

Was going to question the Lions rushing just 3, but the 3 got quick pressure on Brosmer and forced the checkdown anyway

Predominantly running away from Penei Sewell (again) is a very interesting choice for the Lions offense (again). Especially with a backup LT

Hutchinson with sack No. 2. Great effort forces the long 4th down. Brosmer never sensed him as he rolled to the other side

Now Gibbs gets stripped and the Vikings recover. Lions have 1/5th of their season giveaways on the last 2 drives.

Vikings cash in the Lions giveaway as Aaron Jones runs thru Rodrigo for the TD. 7-0.

Looks like the Lions went for the punt block there. Raymond gets buried pretty quickly inside the 10 off a nice punt

This was called on the center. Like, what the actual hell? x.com/Rate_the_Ref...

Eguakun at C, Skipper at LT.

Some creativity on the 3rd-and-long blitz from the Lions and Anzalone gets the sack.

Time for some Lions football

LaNorris Sellers is heading back to South Carolina, per his social media. Glad he's taking another year. There is a lot to like but SOOO much work to do before Sellers is NFL-ready. I do like that he trended up in terms of NFL skills as 2025 progressed, even if his stats didn't reflect that

If the season ended now, the Lions would rank with the third-highest DVOA of any team to miss the playoffs since 1978. Numbers in parentheses represent what seed that team would have under current rules.

I'm at O'Hare on my way back to Grand Rapids and all these gleeful Bears fans are everywhere. I miss being gleefully excited about my team. Sigh...

Cmon, make the magic

Had the Lions taken the easy FG on the first drive, a FG would win this game

Steelers doing this run damage with backups at LT and LG. Imagine that, helping out your patchwork OL by running

Is that a touchdown?! I'd forgotten what they were

Hey a 1st down. Took almost 19 minutes of game time in the second half for Detroit

This is just not good, well-coached football from Detroit.

Lions again running an offense with the supposition that the IOL is good enough to operate as normal. They don't, not even close. And it costs them a safety.

Well that's a crap way to end the half. Pittsburgh gets a TD off a crazy catch by Gainwell, originally ruled incomplete. He clearly caught it, no Lions touched him down. Anzalone guilty of DPI but it didn't matter

This is a valid question

Isaac TeSlaa TD. What a throw from Goff and special catch!

DK Metcalf going after a fan in the stands. Classless.

Need to change up the tempo more on offense. Among the many things Detroit just doesn't do well enough

Sawyer was just too fast for Mahogany to peel across 3 gaps to block on assignment. Maybe don't ask a guy coming off injury to make that block 🤷‍♂️

Great kick by Boswell to nail the 59-yarder and PIT goes up 3-0. Lions D woke up after being a little spotty to start.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski says rookie RB Quinshon Judkins suffered a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula Sunday against the Bills.

As long as the Lions OL that starts the game can finish the game, they're ok. That's the hope

Unreal comeback win for Chicago. Wow. Packers very complicit in their own defeat too, with injuries certainly a factor

This has been a stunning development for the Bears. And a nightmare for GB

Congrats to Ferris State on winning the D2 football championship, smoking Harding 42-21 today. 4th in 5 years for Ferris and coach Tony Annese. GLIAC wins another natty

I've had a few folks ask about what's going on with Ohio football and ex-coach Brian Smith. I don't know full details, but it's not as nefarious or disturbing as what's played out at Michigan. Sounds like alcohol on university property was the catalyst. It'll all come out soon...
