00:00Saturday night football to kick off a new week around the
00:06National Football League week 14 now underway after a
00:10monumental match up in the Motor City, the Lions and the
00:14Packers on Thursday night to start week 14 to recap here on
00:19a football Friday on the early line on sports grid. Joe. It
00:23was not your usual Thursday night football game. It was not
00:27week for either team both teams playing on Thanksgiving, which
00:32made the fact that both had a full week off in a game that
00:36entered with a three and a half point spread that had stayed
00:39largely there a 51 and a half point total that was up by a
00:43full point 52 and a hook by the time we got the kick last night.
00:48It made the atmosphere the stage and the significance here
00:51as we are about to begin our fifth to final week of this NFL
00:56regular season that much more fitting. Could it live up to
00:59the expectation? It certainly did the Lions walking it off
01:04with a last second field goal that was set up to be last
01:08second 3431 Jake Bates delivers that 35 yarder and the Lions
01:15edge out the Packers by three points that hook that remained
01:19with the hook all week long turned out to be significant.
01:24The Packers do cover as an underdog and that high total on
01:27a Thursday night of 52 and a half does sky over. Yeah, what
01:32a what a difference a game makes and what a difference from
01:36the first time that these guys played where the Green Bay
01:39defenseman actually only allowed what 17 points in the
01:43rain. They held them to 3.9 yards per carry on 32 carries
01:49and your boy that was born a different game. That was last
01:52night a absolute shootout and with all the injuries,
01:57including another one by the way on the defensive side,
02:00McNeil was ruled out with a head injury to start that
02:03second half. Just another growing list of players on that
02:07Detroit defense. That's not going to be available to them
02:11Ben, but you know what when the offense can do what they can do
02:14and they can drop over 30 points on an opposing defense.
02:19You're you can overcome those kinds of injuries, but the
02:23reality is I don't anticipate them taking a step back or
02:27breathing or exhaling. I think Dan Campbell is going to keep
02:31these guys fired up. I think they're going to want to run
02:34the table and it would not shock me given the schedule that
02:37they do just that.
