I couldn't believe he didn't just fall on the ball. Then 3 & 27, oh my lord here we go again. Then iffy saved the day, what a swing of emotions in a minute. Ecstatic from the fumble, disgusted by trying to scoop it, dismayed by 3 & 27, annoyed by the Powell catch, immense joy on the interception. What a game, what a year

Dan Campbell is by far the biggest acquisition any Detroit sports team has made since the Tigers traded for Miguel Cabrera in 2007.

[@D_2387]

I was infuriated by the whiff on the fumble, and then giving up 3rd and 27. Like are you kidding me? But at the end of the day, it wouldn't make sense for it to happen any other way. The offense stalls, the defense is looking like they're going to blow every chance they can to seal it, here we go: same ol Lions..... and then they hit us with the "gotcha" moment that let us know those days are finally over. They gave us one last taste of that SOL heartbreak that we've grown all too familiar with, before they showed us why these are the brand new Lions

[@dylanjolet5996]

I mean they didn’t TRY to give up the 3rd and 27 that was just a great catch lmao

[@D_2387]

@@dylanjolet5996 still and all..... Usually when you see 3rd and 27, that doesn't get converted against good teams. And also, usually good teams recover that fumble as well, and the 3rd and 27 doesn't even happen. I'm not saying the Lions aren't good, I'm saying USUALLY that doesn't happen to good teams. But it's something that always seemed to happen to the Lions. No matter what. They found the most insane, heart wrenching ways to lose time and time again, and it was looking like this was going to be no different. Except it was. This is a different team, and a different franchise. The SOL narrative is dead. Whatever misfortunes they experience from this point on will not be a part of the SOL narrative anymore. It will simply be a bump in the road that all good teams face. These new Lions are for real.

[@esdeathisbae9480]

It might not have happened last season but this team is something special owner gm and head coach have built a fantastic roster that has only gotten better this team is ready to gun for the superbowl lions i hope its you vs my eagles in the NFC championship game next year

[@dsugimoto313]

As I was watching this, I had the sinking feeling that it was going to be the SOL losing this in the closing seconds of the game. Nope, there are new sheriffs in town - Hamp, Holmes, and Campbell..

[@joshlewis575]

Cominsky trying to scoop the fumble only to lose it to then give up 3 & 27 was as SOL as it gets. But then Iffy buried it once and for all. Sheila Brad and Dan have built a legit organization and this really is only the beginning. Hard to believe how many good players they have now just 3 short years from Bob Quinns roster. The best position I've ever seen the lions in in my almost 3 decades of fandom.

[@a2ndopynyn]

@@joshlewis575 - I'm 56. I was born there. I don't ever remember them being this good. Dan Campbell is the real deal, and so is this team. Every time they've suffered a loss that would have thrown them into Loser Mode, Campbell has known how to keep them on track, overcoming errors, solving problems and moving forward.

I missed this, because I was driving through an area with zero cell signal, but this is awesome! I don’t even blame Cominsky for trying to pick it up and run with it, that’s just football instinct!

[@joshlewis575]

I fully blame him for being lost out there like he has been all year. How do you not realize the situation there? U fall on the ball the game is over. Guess his football instinct is shit because the play is to fall on it all day. He was being selfish there thinking he was going to scoop and score it. As bad as a play as you'll see, iffy bailed him out big time

@@joshlewis575To be fair it was bouncing not on the ground. Falling on a bouncing ball it could squirt out. You try to catch a bouncing ball then fall so it doesn’t get knocked out again.

[@Knightmessenger]

Since the NFL already posted game highlights with the Fox tv broadcast, could the Lions youtube channel consider synching up the tv feed with the radio audio? I know they posted calls of the game with footage inside the booth, but it would be nice to hear extended Dan Miller with tv visuals.

[@ddeitsch1]

At 2:06 when the official spots the ball, the ball is at the 43 yard line. The camera moves away and then when it comes back at 2:11, the ball is half a yard farther forward. Possibly rendering the spot fairly moot, at 0:28, you can see the first down marker at the top of the screen, just short of the 43, which means regardless of the spot, it was likely a first down. However, at 3:27 you can see that the opposite side of the field is actually the stick side, meaning what we saw at 0:28 is the flop side; we would hope it would be accurate with the stick side, but sometimes it is not.

lol makes me laugh. Saying Justin Jefferson went up over 2 defenders. Considering both defenders were behind him. all he had to do was catch the ball. Calvin Johnson, iv watched him being surrounded by 3 players, jump up and get thr ball. that's impressive. JJ was just a normal catch.

[@mrbigglesworth375]

I suffer from Post Traumatic LIONS SYNDROME! PTLS--- When they were 3rd and 27, I was like well a throw to Jefferson for a completion was coming and it did. I literally lost my mind. I have to watch the games by myself as I'm a 55-year-old having a 4-year-old temper tantrum. When Iffy made the interception, I was still livid as he was running around and all I could envision was that ball getting knocked out before he would just sit the heck down. I couldn't even enjoy the win. At this point glad they got the W and I don't care anymore as we made the playoffs. They could lose out rest of the season and lose the playoff game and I'm just happy they made it this far. Maybe I'm on the road to recovery?
