I'm drinking the Blue Kool-Aid and loving it! Hey, maybe I'm on a sugar high, but it's totally worth it.

The Detroit Lions started off the season 1-6, but here they are after having won five of their past six games, sitting pretty at 6–7. The team beat the Minnesota Vikings Sunday (Dec. 12) at Ford Field in a little payback for the game earlier in the season that we could have and should have won.

So, who gets credit for the Detroit Lions' turnaround? Jeff Risdon of The USA Today Network's "The Lions Wire" joins Anne Erickson on "The Squad" to talk about all things Lions, as well as the general NFL. They also talk about Anne's favorite quarterback, Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles.
