Nobody Wants to Play the Detroit Lions
Everybody is taking about the Detroit Lions. The team has won six of their past seven games, and with each win comes more talk about their strength as a team.
Following Sunday’s (Dec. 18) Lions win against the Jets, plenty of NFL pundits were talking about the Lions- in a positive light. According to fivethirtyeight.com, the Lions are even favored over Washington (35%) and Seattle (30%) to get a spot in the playoffs.
ESPN’s “Get Up” show did a special segment on the Lions Monday (Dec. 19). During the segment, they talked about how nobody wants to play the Detroit Lions. Roar!
“Nobody wants to play ’em,” Rex Ryan said. “I’m tellin’ you that right now. How many teams 1-6 they end up folding, now we’re punting on the season, fire the coach. Not one time did that team flinch. Why? Because they’re locked in it together: head coach, general manager, all that. They have a direction for this football team. And all a year before expected to. This team is playing their butts off. They don’t let go of the rope. Their defense, all of a sudden yeah they struggled all year, right now they have 98 (quarterback) pressures in the last seven games, so they’re playing great. The offense is a joke, this offense is a phenomenal offense.” Listen to the latest episode of “The Squad with Anne Erickson” below and subscribe on Apple Podcasts HERE and Spotify HERE.
