DETROIT LIONS HISTORIC DREAM SEASON COMES TO A STUNNINGLY ABRUPT ENDING WHEN THE COMMANDERS TAKE COMMAND (41-35)

This was our year. Everyone knew this was our year. At 15-2, Detroit had the best record in the league, the best in Lions’ history. The home team had a week off to heal their injuries. Sonic and Knuckles were back together. The Lombardi trophy was within reach. We just had to reach out and grab it. This was destiny. It was DESTINY!
But then something went wrong.
The Detroit Lions took that first important step toward the Super Bowl, lost their footing, stepped off into empty space, and fell and crashed with a dream-shattering thud. The Saturday night primetime Divisional play-off game was an emotional roller-coaster ride featuring the highest highs and the lowest lows. The Lions had a lot of great plays, but whatever they could accomplish, the Commanders would counter almost immediately. Detroit never got a chance for a sustained momentum.
It was the injuries on Detroit's defense that finally seemed to catch up with them. The Lions came into the game with 13 defensive players on IR, including six starters. And then, to make matters worse, cornerback Amik Robertson left the game with an elbow injury on the second play of the game and didn't return.
Without going into a lot of heart-breaking details, let’s just say the Detroit Lions were outplayed by the Washington Commanders. Plain and simple. The only stat that the Lions overwhelmingly dominated was turnovers. Detroit had 5. Washington had zero. +-
Without question, the Detroit Lions had a fantastic season. Lots of smiles and high fives all around. They broke so many NFL and franchise records that I would need an abacus to keep track of them all. But the regular season and the post-season are two different animals. In the regular season, you can have a bad game and dismiss it, in the post-season, you cannot.
To sum it all up, in 2024 the Detroit Lions shot for the moon. It didn’t seem like a long shot at all, but something that could be easily done. It was a great lift-off. The rocket ship, filled with the high-flying hopes and dreams of Detroit Lions’ fans all over the world, flew straight and true for a long, long time. But then it simply ran out of fuel, halfway into space, and fell back to earth.

THE DETROIT LIONS DEFEND THE DEN BY TURNING BACK A VISCIOUS HOARD OF MARAUDING VIKINGS (31-9)

Lions Win! Lions Win! Lions Win! Lions Win! Lions Win! Lions Win!
I can’t say that enough times. Because it comes as such a massive relief. For weeks before this game, sports analysts and commentators have been giving the edge to the Minnesota Vikings. Sam Darnold is “The Wonder Boy.” Justin Jefferson is “the greatest player in the NFL.” Detroit’s defense is “decimated, injured, can’t play.” The Lions' running back duo is “split in half.”
Yeah, well... What are you saying now, you sports analysts and commentators?
Both teams had 14-2 records going in and with the NFC #1 seed going to the winner, plus a much-needed bye week, the game had been called the “Biggest regular season game in the last decade.” At least the analysts got that one right.
Ford Field was dressed up like it was a play-off game, all sparkling lights, Detroit sports legends in attendance, Lions in their Black Uniforms. It was winter cold outside, but inside the anticipatory excitement was breaking-the-thermometer hot.
Ford Field was sold out, of course, even standing room was sold out. But it really didn’t matter if you had a standing room ticket or a seat, because hardly anyone could stay seated. Everyone was standing all the time, craning their necks to take in every play, every sight, every sound.
The first half of the game had Detroit and Minnesota facing off, sizing each other up, like 2 heavyweight boxers, looking for that knock-out punch, but never finding an opportune opening. Detroit scored first, on a Jahmyr Gibbs TD and the first half ended within one score, (10-6) including a last-minute Jake Bates FG.
It was in the second half when the sun broke through the clouds and the birds started singing. Jahmyr Gibbs had 3 more rushing TDs, breaking 2 of Barry Sanders’ franchise records (4 TDs in a game and 20 in a season). The Lions’ “decimated” defense hounded Sam Darnold constantly, holding him below 50% passing and hitting him 10 times, with two total sacks. Meanwhile, Jared Goff went 27 of 33 for 231 yards with a touchdown. The defense had 2 goal-line stands, denying Minnesota a touchdown the whole game. Detroit’s D held Justin Jefferson to a meager 3 receptions.
Even though a lot of fans in purple and yellow were at Ford Field, because the Minnesota Vikings organization actually paid their fans to invade our house, like mercenaries, I didn’t hear any “Skoal” cheers except when the Lions’ fans were doing it back at them in mockery.
This victory is the first time in franchise history that the Lions earned the #1 overall seed in the NFC. The First time!
When asked about this game, Dan Campbell said, “This has been a long time coming.”
Yeah. Ya think? I have been waiting my whole life to have this happen. My whole life! And that, my friends, is what you call a long time coming. A VERY long time.

DETROIT STAYS ON TOP OF THE NFC, BUT BUFFALO TRAMPLES ON THE LIONS 11-GAME WIN STREAK. (48-42)

It’s hard to stop a herd of Buffalos charging at you, especially when the leader is a big bull with a head of steam. I wouldn’t call it a stampede, because the Lions held their ground for most of the way, but it wasn’t a roll in the hay, either. Head-to-head testing the 2 best teams in football. It was an incredibly tough battle. Just like we knew it would be.
The first quarter did not go exactly as Detroit had planned for it to go. No, let me rephrase that last statement. The first quarter was a freaking devastating disaster for Detroit. The Lions couldn’t get started. 3 and out, 3 and out. Meanwhile, the Bills pretty much did exactly what they wanted to. 14-0 at the end of the first. Yikes.
It was that first surprising charge by Buffalo that put the Lions back on their heels. Even though they found their footing after that, Detroit just could not recover enough to overcome the deficit.
The Lions had some great plays, and some great drives. There was enough excitement so that I was up and down, up and down, standing and sitting, so many times that it felt like I was at a Catholic Church.
A few of the memorable plays included: converting two 4th downs and a hook-and-lateral on the last TD drive, a 66-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra, a Jared Goff 10-yard run for a first down, a play action TD pass to 6’9” 330 lb. offensive tackle Dan Skipper, his first touchdown pass.
The offense kept us in the game. But it was the banged-up, injured, decimated defense that couldn’t hold back the charging herd. No matter if it was fourth-and-2, or third-and-20, the Lions' defense wasn’t stopping anything.
Here’s one of the biggest problems we had playing against Buffalo. The Bills are a team that is built just like the Lions. Tough, gritty, never-give-up, great receiving corps, accurate QB, gutsy head coach. Playing Buffalo was like playing a mirror of Detroit. So how would you fare if you were in a street fight with yourself? For one thing, you’d always know what you were going to do, so you could always sidestep it. It’s not easy to outsmart yourself.
However, even now that the game is over, there’s some good points to consider. The Lions still have the most victories and the best win percentage in the NFC. They are in the play-offs and still in line for a first-round bye. This is the first game the Lions have lost since September 15 and only the second loss all season. The Lions are coming off 11 consecutive victories. ELEVEN! At the beginning of the season, who would have thought the Lions would have a record that is this incredible? I’ll tell you who. NO-BODY!

UNSTOPPABLE LIONS REACH PLAY-OFFS BY SENDING THE PACKERS PACKIN’ (34-31) FOR A RECORD-SETTING 11 VICTORIES IN A ROW.

The Detroit Lions are Monty Python’s Black Knight. In “The Holy Grail”, the Black Knight says to King Arthur, “I stand aside for no man.” They duel and Arthur cuts off the Black Knight’s arm. “Now let me pass,” says Arthur. “’Tis but a scratch,” says the knight. They continue and Arthur cuts off his other arm. “Just a flesh wound,” says the Black Knight as he begins kicking at Arthur. Arthur cuts off both Black Knight’s legs and rides on past him. “Come back here, you cowards,” calls out the torso of the Black Knight. “Come back here. I’ll bite off your kneecaps.”
That sums up the 2024 Lions. Never give up. No matter what. Detroit’s defense is completely decimated, down to players off the practice squad; 18 players are on injured reserve. Almost all the defensive line and linebackers are in rehab. And yet the Lions never, ever give up.
Thursday Night Football, Ford Field was alive with excitement. Every fan knew how huge this game was. The long-standing rivalry is intense. Both teams are battling for NFC North leadership. Flavor Flav was there. Bob Seger was there. The prime-time battle lived up to all the pre-game hype. It was over-the-top, nail-biting heavyweight excitement right from the first kick-off, ending with last-second dramatics.
Detroit comes out swinging, striking first with a nice drive for a TD following it with a field goal for an early 10-0 lead. Green Bay scores, but then Detroit responds with another TD just before halftime.
Then Green Bay opens the second half with a deep shot touchdown and pulls off an interception immediately after for another TD, 14 points in 3 ½ minutes to take the lead.
Back and forth, back and forth. Going for 4th down conversions seemed risky at times, but Detroit is successful on 4 out of 5, making a huge difference.
Finally, tied 31-31 near the end of the game. Great time management allows the Lions a last second Jake Bates field goal to secure the hard-fought victory. Wow. What a game. The Packers played well; the Lions played better.
I’m going to close with a quote from Dan Campbell in his post-game locker room speech, because what he says really makes sense. “I love you guys! You always find a way to win. That’s what champions do. They always find a way to win. This is not happenstance, man. We were destined to do this.”
Yeah. I like that. It’s gonna happen. It’s finally gonna happen. This is our year.

THANKGIVING DAY: DETROIT FEASTS (23-20) BUT THE BEARS NEARLY GIVE THE LIONS A BAD CASE OF 4th Q INDIGESTION.

1934. Ninety years ago. The year the Detroit Lions became the Detroit Lions. At 11-1, Dan Campbell’s present-day team has the best start of a season in franchise history. Let that sink in. THE BEST START IN FRANCHISE HISTORY. The Lions have won 10 games in a row. TEN GAMES IN A ROW. We are witnessing history here, fans.
Additionally, The Thanksgiving Day Lions home game in Detroit has been a prime-time tradition since that first game in 1934. How fitting that the Lions have finally broken the 7-season-long losing streak (since 2016) that has plagued the team on the turkey holiday.
For the first half of the game, the Chicago Bears were who we thought they were. The Lions were able to push them around, keeping them scoreless. 16-0 at the break.
But after a very cool half-time show by Shaboozey, things changed. The Lions were able to score another TD, but that was all they could manage. Meanwhile, as Detroit was dealing with penalties and injuries, Chicago decided this would be a good time to make a move. Which they did.
Caleb Williams was pleased to demonstrate his slippery, scrambling talent. Chicago’s #1 draft pick rookie quarterback also threw three touchdowns (with a failed 2-point conversion) for an unforeseen rally that left the Ford Field packed house dazed and confused.
The Bears manage to get within 3 points of Detroit. With 3:14 to go in the game, Chicago has all their time-outs left, plus the 2-minute warning. They have the ball. They can win this game with a touchdown or tie it at minimum. Chicago had options and opportunities.
But then things got really nutty. Chicago burns a timeout because they were confused. But DeAndre Swift runs and CJ Moore catches get them down the field into field goal territory. A Detroit sack sets them back, but a Caleb Williams scramble gets them back into range. They’re still thinking a touchdown, but the clock keeps ticking. Offensive pass interference puts them out of range, but then a very, very questionable defensive pass interference call puts them back in range. A big Bears reception puts them inside the 15, but a flag for a personal foul on Alim McNeill sets them back, but still in field goal range. Then a timely Detroit sack by Za’Darius Smith with 27 seconds to go, really takes the wind out of their sails. There’s still time for a couple of plays, even a long field goal. Plus, they still have a timeout left. But, for some odd reason, they just let the time run down and then attempt a bomb which gets overthrown as time runs out and to everyone’s surprise and delight, Detroit wins. The Bears just botched it. Weird, very weird. But that’s OK. We’ll take it.
The victory ties the Lions for their longest franchise winning streak at 10. Next week against the Packers will give them the outright record.
The Detroit Lions just keep winning. Sometimes with blow-outs, sometimes with end-of-the-game rallies, sometimes with nail-biters, sometimes with record-setting plays. Sometimes they just have the game handed over to them. The point is that they just keep winning. They just keep finding ways. Wow. What a season!

THE LIONS TOTALY CRUSH THE JAGUARS, SCORING 7 TDS ON THEIR FIRST 7 POSSESSIONS (52-6)

As soon as I say that I was just at a game in which the Lions could not have played any better, the next game they play, they play even better! And that just keeps happening. Any Detroit Lions fan should realize that we are in the midst of an absolutely historical season!
Here’s a little bit of that history that I’m talking about.
In 1934 the Portsmouth Spartans moved to Detroit to become the Detroit Lions. That first year saw the team win their first 10 games. Sunday’s blowout victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars marked Detroit’s best start of a season, at 9-1, since 1934, 90 years ago. Also, the Lions just handed the Jags their biggest losing point differential in the history of their team. It was the 2nd consecutive home game that Detroit scored 52 points, only 3 short of the franchise record.
Detroit scored touchdowns on each of their first 7 possessions, which was the first team to accomplish that feat since the 2007 Patriots (who went 16-0). Plus, it was only the 2nd time this has happened in the last 45 years.
Additionally, Detroit advanced the ball 645 total yards on offense, a franchise record and the 10th most by any team in a game in NFL history. Jared Goff went 24-29 for 412 yards.
Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery both pounded their ways into the endzone, marking the 10th game in a row for touchdowns from each of a rushing duo, an NFL all-time record. Amon-Ra St. Brown had a receiving touchdown for the 8th game in a row, setting a new Detroit Lions franchise record.
Normally, this synopsis will be a play-by-play account, detailing every aspect of the game, but this victory contained too many broken records, too much history being rewritten, to be ignored. Here’s the best I can do for an accounting of the game. The Jaguars scored first, 3 points on a field goal. They doubled their total to 6 in the second quarter. The rest of the game was all Detroit Lions phenomenal playmaking.
The Lions are the scariest team in the NFL. We are witnessing a season that will never, EVER be dismissed or forgotten. The 2024 Detroit Lions could very well be the most dominating team to have EVER performed in the National Football League! Wow! I LOVE THIS!

TITANS CRUMPLE UNDER THE MASSIVE WEIGHT OF 7 LIONS' TDS (52-14)

Lately, every Detroit Lions game I attend I say “Wow, that was the best game I have seen in a long time.” I must repeat myself after Sunday’s thumping of Tennessee. It was a complete and irrefutable domination of another professional NFL football team. The Lions just keep getting better and better.
It seemed like every big over-the-top play you would want to see the Lions accomplish was wrapped up in this one game.
Tennessee came into the battle with the #1 defense in the league and at first it appeared that the Titans were going to make a game of it with a little back-and-forth ending at a 14-14 in the second quarter. But then the Titans D fell apart, especially after the first of many eye-opening plays, a 70-yard touchdown run from Jahmyr Gibbs.
Tennessee completely relented, becoming demoralized as the Lions continued to score over and over, racking up an unanswered 38 points to finalize the victory.
Kalif Raymond had 2 huge punt returns, 64 yards and a 90-yarder for a touchdown which is the second longest punt return in Lions’ history. Amik Robertson forced 2 fumble punch-outs, both Lions’ recoveries. Both Kerby Joseph and Trevor Nowaske (his first) had momentum-changing interceptions. Jake Bates made a 51-yard field goal look easy, his longest kick since joining the Lions. Khalil Dorsey had a 72-yard kickoff return which set up a quick Brock Wright touchdown. David Montgomery tossed a trick play touchdown pass to Sam LaPorta. The defense forced four straight incompletions for a big goal line stand. Detroit scored 5 times (5 times!) in the first half.
The Detroit Lions lead the NFC with a 6-1 record, the best start of a season for the home team since 1956. Over the last 4 games, the Lions have been averaging 43 points per game. Detroit became only the third team since 1941 to have a punt return of 90 yards or more and a kickoff return of 70 or more in a game. The score of 52 points is second largest in Detroit Lions history.
The Lions are regularly setting records for the number of new records they are setting. It sure feels good. I like it.

DETROIT IS ON FIRE. SEATTLE SUFFERS 3rd DEGREE BURNS. (42-29).
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. JARED GOFF MAKES NFL HISTORY.

Except for Thanksgiving games, Monday Night Football is the NFL’s longest standing tradition going back to 1970. The schedulers always try to pick the most provocative matchups for prime time. This game was no exception. An undefeated Seattle had overcome Detroit in all 6 of the last head-to-heads. The Lions needed a win. They needed to muster all the grit they had in their grit bag.
And that’s exactly what they did. A better game played by the Lions taxes the memory. Jared Goff went 18 for 18, without an incompletion, for 292 yards. That smashes the existing record for no incompletions by almost double; Kurt Warner went 10 for 10 in 2005.
And that was just the beginning. The Fighting Dan Campbells were throttling down on all cylinders like a precision tuned, high performance Motown Muscle Car. Every time you looked at the Jumbotron, a big yardage Detroit Lions gain was being replayed.
Here’s a few highlights...
Beginning the second quarter, Jack Campbell punched the football out of DK Metcalf's arms which was scooped up by Carlton Davis and returned 49 yards.
David Montgomery appeared to be stuffed for a short, one-yard gain, but bounced out breaking tackles for a 40-yard Angry Run gain.
Jahmyr Gibbs ran for two touchdowns in the second, finishing with 78 yards rushing.
Calvin Johnson was inducted into the Pride of the Lions at halftime.
Goff threw a pass to Jameson Williams, who high-stepped it, outrunning everyone for a 70-yard touchdown in the third.
Also in the third, Jared Goff tossed the ball to Amon Ra St Brown who lobbed it back to Goff in the endzone for one of the trickiest trick plays. St Brown also toe-tapped an 8-yard touchdown from Goff in the fourth making them only the eighth duo in league history to throw and catch a touchdown from each other.
Safety Kerby Joseph clinched the 42-29 Lions victory with an end zone interception.
And those were only the major plays that I can expound upon.
Detroit scored their first TD on their second drive and never relinquished their lead. It was a great game. It was a perfect game. It was an historic game. It was a wonder to behold.
