[Music] the Detroit Lions have clinched the playoffs officially here in week 14 with a 34-3 win 31 win over the Green Bay Packers a big NFC North matchup coming down to the wire kicker Jake bat steps up to knock a walk-off field goal through the uprights that’s his second of the Season he was calm and Poise just like usual hi everyone welcome to the Detroit Lions kir a insurance postgame show that’s the Super Bowl champus Brown I’m Danny Rogers for the first time since the 94 and 95 seasons Detroit has clinched playoff births in consecutive Seasons this was a big one against a divisional opponent Lis oh this was huge this was this game basically was for first place and the guys stepped up and Danny so many question marks coming into this game for the Detroit Lions especially on the defensive side of the ball those guys stepped up and answered every question they needed to kudos to the guys on defense but kudos to Aaron Glenn for having these guys right and really really having these guys ready to play this game against Green Bay the Detroit Lions defense has been decimated with injuries there’s been four linebackers put on IR alone so what do you have to do when you come into a game where your your defense is depleted you have to win the time of possession L Miss and Detroit did that 36 minutes to Green Bay 24 minutes that first that third down category as well is so glaring low miss one of five for Green Bay Detroit just under 50% in in that stat yeah I mean that’s huge there Danny what that means to me when you go seven out of 15 that means that your offense is controlling the ball you’re eating up first downs but the most important thing is that you’re keeping Jordan love and that offense his offense on the sideline so I thought it was very important for our offense to pretty much dominate this game but continuously move it by picking up first downs because again like you said you keep that opposing offense on the sideline give your defense a chance to rest and our defense man it’s just it’s just been unbelievable Danny what they’ve been able to do these last few games yeah Aaron Glenn defensive coordinator has put a bandit on bandage on this defense and honestly not even that he has turned some very new faces into Detroit Lions football players head coach Dan Campbell standing by at the podium let’s hear from him all right um man what a win you know that was hell of a job by our players and and our coaches man that was a total team effort we talked about it um you know what we were going to need going in the style that we needed to play with and and uh you know we wanted that defense just cut it Loose uh just go play Man effort finish um and and man they did that you know God they did that uh it’s hell of a job by EG and and those guys just laid it on the line man they call them the northern Savages they just roll right in the door man and they’re in the game um it’s a hell of a job and then our offense you know we knew they were going to need to carry the load you know you need to carry a little bit more of the the backpacks and such and uh and man we did that you know they did that stepped up in a big way and it was a number of guys really made plays for us across the board you know and uh it took everybody we had on offense and uh you know golf had another big game TP uh was big um you know leor made some big plays for us so you know look you can go down the line but man I was proud of him and uh you know I just love the fact we just find a way man and and um you feel like the narrative you know the narrative going in man we weren’t buying any of the stuff about where we were at and we no excuses and our guys knew where we were at we don’t need to talk about being tough we don’t need to talk about being resilient we live it and it’s what we are and uh man we just proved it again proud of our guys I think 99.9% of football K that you just take us through why you felt that it was important to get that first down that way I just you know I felt like um I just felt like we needed to end it on offense you know and I did not want to give that ball back and I believed we we could get that I believe we could convert you know and I trusted that old lion I trusted David and uh and they came through for since a hell of a call by Ben you know it just um I knew how I wanted to play this game the team knew it and and everything in me told me that let’s let’s finish this and so we did how about Jared being able to get rid of that ball get Ste on he’s an athlete he got that thing handed off and David did the rest it was great was there any were there any um questions in your mind after you failed to get the fourth down earlier in the third quarter where as tration none and it look I told the guys knew players knew coaches knew listen this is don’t ride the wave you know we could be up two scores we could be down two scores and but just because we’re one of the other we got to play our style of game going in what we felt like we needed to do what I felt like we needed to do and so that meant the risk was there and you know and you fell in negative territory you got you know you’re trying to hold him to a field goal um but I knew uh that was that was how I wanted to play that team with where we were at Dan you have won so many different ways this season the way you just won this one with so many guys injured you just said no excuses how do you describe this one in all season I told the team this will be one of those you never forget so in golf uh pregame I said man you played all these games you had this long career um you know and I’m sure there’s some he’s probably you don’t remember everything when you’ve played as long as he but I said you will never forget this one you will never forget this game and I think a lot of it is just that what we’ve had to overcome uh the hand we were dealt and I just love the fact our guys don’t make excuses man they just find a way and uh and everybody in that on this team believed we were going to win that game and we were going to find a way and uh and we just we did it again again we did it again guys did it you having to deal with what you dealt with with your defensive players did you know going in that you would go on fourth down more than you ever have every chance you get just so you can possess the ball more well I yeah I knew that if if we needed to do that I was prepared to do that you’re hoping you don’t get into them you just you don’t have to get into fourth you’re convert on third if it comes to that um but we were prepared we were prepared moments like you’ve never wavered from this aggressiveness no matter where this team has been uh well look when you’re when you’re in it uh with these guys and you’ve been around them long enough and you know I’ve been around Ben I’ve been around golf I’ve been around Frank and Su and Saint and you know Montgomery now um and Gibbs and now J Mo’s been here going you know you just leaport man there’s been enough time on task um with those guys Graham that you just I just I felt good I feel good and I felt like we’d find a way and you’d love to say if you’re if you’re going to do that you’re going to convert every one of them but that’s not the reality it doesn’t always work that way and so you know there’s going to be you’re you’re taking a high level of risk you know there is risk with it but I felt like with our guys it wouldn’t be as big of a risk as it may appear to be your thoughts on your thoughts on qualifying for the playoffs this early the progress that that represents when you came in to where we are now it’s first week in December you’re already in the playoffs well and I didn’t even I just found that out actually uh and I didn’t even realize that um you know listen it’s good um it’s good but it’s like man we got four left and and we want to get of course we want it in we want in a different way you know we we want to go in on our own terms and we want to find a way to get this one seed um and that’s that’s the priority you know certainly you got to win the division and then you get this one seed and those are we took a step closer to to winning this Division and and doing what I just mentioned so um yeah listen it’s great uh we’re in the playoffs I wish I’d have told the team I didn’t tell them I had no idea uh but but honestly I think I think they know you know I I think they feel like I feel I really believe that and it’s like yeah I think everybody be like okay that’s great we’d get the old golf clap but then it we we know what we want to do and we we talked about this really even after last year we talked about in the spring talking about in training camp we know what our goals are uh huge what a great addition he’s been and he just continues to make plays for us in the Run game and the pass game stepped up big here uh man we talk about catching and knifing today man catch uh turn and run catch it tuck it turn and run do what if you can only get five you got to get a six if you can only get a seven you got to get us eight and man I mean he did that multiple times and it comes up with a two big touchdowns for us uh he’s been an unbelievable addition man what a stud you you how you play this game and the team do it can you can you elaborate on that because how do you convey the leaning on the offense without making it seem like the injuries are going to uh I think you just you you tell them the way you want to play the game you know and and defensively uh we played our strengths and what are our strengths man AG did a hell of a job trim the package down to where these guys can come in and play and it’s like it’s not like we got guys that have never played ball I mean you know Quan Alexander’s played football in this league and um Jamal Adams has played football in this league you know and we brought in the other guys that are fiveyear guys uh you know miles uh and Jonah and so um and then Muhammad’s been here and so we just we man we wanted to trim it back to where those guys could play fast and that was really stipulate just cut it Loose man it’s not going to be perfect it doesn’t need to be perfect and so with that any burden we can take off you guys where you can just cut it loose and we knew there may be some errors but I just want to turn on the tape and know the effort and the Finish is there and we’re going after the football find a way to get a takeaway we got a takeaway it was huge man it was huge Caron Davis big big big punch out there and and then we’ll you know we we’ll Shuffle the load a little bit to the offense and special teams if need be theough had this season have been against divisional opponents just kind of speaking on that just this division this this season our division is is damn good I mean it’s really good it’s the best division in football in my opinion um you know I mean we we got we got top tier uh Talent we got top tier coaching and players and uh the whole deal the competition is just uh you know it’s um it’s really Elite um and so I think that’s just another reason why you got to do whatever it takes to win this division man because if you do and you’re able to play at home man it’s going to go a long way with the teams that that we have cuz I I think the team we just played Minnesota or you know I think we can all make some noise and this uh this game was chippy from jump what do you tell your team going into a game like this about keeping that aggression but making sure they kind of find that line yeah just keep your head be disciplined I mean it it’s really as simple as that our guys know you know I thought they did a hell of a job our guys did a hell of a job um you know uh certainly we’re not going to take anything from anybody but uh but we’re smart enough to know that man we we can’t have you know personal files and things like that so you just tell them that and they understand that they really do um you know they handled it well being the starting quarterback for the Lions moving out here to Detroit what’s the first thing you learned about car insurance yeah I learned it’s a challenge and and I’m curious what brought you to Michigan we were a big part of the new reform laws that were passed in 2019 went into effect in 2021 so it gave us an opportunity to give affordable rates to people on Michigan that they’ve been starving for for years amazing anything else yeah go Lions Cure auto insurance Drive well Detroit Lions live is brought to you by Cure auto insurance log on to cure.com to see how you can save the NFC special teams player of the month Jake Pates he walked off a good one here today last game against Chicago Thursday night came down to the wire we’re just going to keep it going it came down to the wire once again both teams tied at 31 a piece and Jake Bates rattles this one off right through the uprights final 34-31 we keep talking about bats he used to be a a brick salesman he he made sure he clear cleared the air he didn’t actually get as far as selling any bricks before he got you know into his football career in Houston so he he was learning about brick he learning about bricks so that man hasn’t sold any bricks but oh my goodness he is making those balls fall right through the upright he’s not kicking bricks Danny he he’s not kicking bricks I mean this guy has been clutch and this is hard to fanom that he was somebody that we had a question mark about before the season started he’s proven to be nothing clutch we know we could count on Jake Bates and precious situation and that’s that that’s a real confiding feeling to know that when you send your field goal kicker out there you’re pretty much going to get the three points M he had to get a lot of three points last weekend he comes up two for two here today special teams they really talk about it being a complete Team every single phase coming together you’ve got Jack Fox one of the best punters in the NFL you don’t have one of the best returners in colie fremond anymore and I think you’ve been able to see that in the lack of Punt and kick returns yeah no I a great Point Danny and don’t forget JM I mean he was one of the All Pro he made all pro on special teams so again we’re missing a lot out there but these guys just seem to step up coach says we need you guys to step up next man up and that’s what this team has been doing all year long and I expect them to keep doing this Jake Bates uh Jack Fox some of the guys that you mentioned they’ve been solid all year long and I expect them to continue to be solid the rest of this year bit stepped up to get an interview by in stadium host Anthony Bolino right after the game let’s hear what they had to say all one Prim we’re down to the field right now with the man who just kicked that 35 yd game winning field goal let’s here for Jake Bates Jake man what does it mean for your team to look at you to have the confidence you to knock that kick down for the game winner yeah it just means a lot um you know this team has done so much for me this fans man we have the best fans in the world and just to come in here and get another division win another win and uh you know just keep stacking it is is awesome I’m sure you know this but this is now a second consecutive season you guys clinched the playoffs yeah I mean we got a lot of work to do but you know we’re we’re going in the right direction I know you mentioned the fans this place packed Thursday night you guys gave him a heck of a game very entertaining one message to them as we get ready to you know come down the home stretch here yeah keep on coming we need you y’all saw what what y’all’s noise does to the other team man we love you guys and we can’t wait to be back home next week fans give it up for number 39 to Jake Bates the 35 yd game-winning field [Applause] [Music] goal one thing you don’t have to tell Detroit Lions fans is to come on back they have caused 10 false starts inside Ford Field this season L Miss just been awesome Danny can I say this Jake baks does look like a brick salesman I’ll just say that okay I’m sorry he looks like a guy dealing with bricks so but no you’re right our crowd Danny and just not at home right on the road they been the same way I I forgot which game we cuse the false start on the road so fans just like Jak B said you guys are so big for us you bring so much energy to this football team we just need you to keep coming out keep doing what you’ve been doing cuz this has been awesome offensively for the Detroit Lions it is built off the Run game namely by David Montgomery and jir Gibbs in jir Gibbs second season in the NFL he has officially joined the 1,00 rushing yard Club he hit that here tonight on 15 attempts 43 yards and Montgomery they really are the onew punch so balanced 14 attempts good enough for 51 yards and lions end with 111 rushing yards on the day that seemed a little bit lower and it didn’t actually it actually at one point didn’t feel like they might have hit that L Miss no you you’re absolutely right about that and Danny you know why you give Green Bay Credit I mean Green Bay they played hard tonight uh they weren’t as depleted as we were but they had some guys that were missing tonight but I just thought we continued to pound the Rock at those guys we pounded The Rock pounded The Rock and it finally cracked so that’s what we need to do that’s the philosophy that’s the scheme that’s how this offense attacks defenses we just need to keep it going Danny just keep doing what we’ve been doing if you looked at the first half and you said oh okay Montgomery Gibbs have both scored you would have already known these Lions would win the game they are 11 and0 when those two running backs score a touchdown offensively another big weapon tonight everyone heard his name multiple times Tim Patrick he was signed at the end of August to these Detroit Lines to fill that wide receiver number three role he has done EX ex L that he came up with two touchdowns today that’s the first time he’s had a multis score game in his career since December 6th of 2020 almost four years to the day TP as I’m going call him now he’s TP to me love what he has brought to this team he’s a big receiver our biggest probably our biggest receiver that we have and when you have a big receiver like that then you you you have a lot more range for error meaning that his target range is so big because of uh his size so it’s just been great to see how he works the middle of the Zone how he’s working the outside how he works when we get in the Red Zone he’s a big Target for Jared G Jared seems to be getting more and more comfortable with him and you seem to see TP getting more and more involved in this uh offensive game plan so kudos to him for always being ready when he’s called upon Patrick is our player of the game because he caught six balls that were thrown his way seven Targets on the day good enough for 43 yards that first touchdown came on Fourth and three in the third quarter to put these lines up 24-21 by the way Lis two fourth down touchdowns here today that matches last match up against Green Bay more touchdowns on fourth down and then Tim Patrick he rattles off a fourth quarter tutty 31-28 that would give these Detroit Lions the lead and that’s his second touchdown of the day look at the reaction knocking the lambo leap was that the forward field leap that he just went and did he looks comfy doing it he did I love that Jared G made sure he went and got that game ball and gave it back to Patrick Yes Man Jared always aware Danny he’s always in the moment great job Jared gol and Jared G he came into this game 72 completion percentage that is good for number two in the NFL the chance back there not only were they chanting Jared G post game they got the MVP chant going D he deserves it why his name is brought up more in the MP MVP race at the top of the MVP race I don’t understand he had one bad game one bad game but if you take his body of work throughout the whole season Jared has been consistent he’s been playing at a high level I mean he’s been playing at an MVP level pretty much this whole season so it’s a travesty that his name isn’t brought up a lot more in the MVP race it really is well we’re bringing back that’s right he threw for 283 yards here today three touchdowns he now has five straight home games with two plus touchdown passes look he used his feet a lot today he tripped a couple times I didn’t love those I’m not going to lie to you especially on that fourth down oh Danny D and I was one of the guys and I guess that’s why coach doesn’t listen to me cuz I was one of the guys yelling kick it kick it no yeah and they that but again that’s why he doesn’t listen to me it was a little touchy when Jared fell but he was able to get that ball to Montgomery to David and we got the first down sooo but it was great gol he is an athlete showing off his athleticism not fumbling the ball golf is standing by at the podium now let’s hear from him fall down and all that yeah just got tripped up there a little bit and um bad feeling when you’re a quarterback not the first time that’s happened in my career um he tried to like stretch out and give it to him I was I was even probably going to flip it to him if I couldn’t hand it to him but um made it happen made it work and uh David did the rest Dan talked about the yeah yeah yeah real athletic to fall down on a routine handoff but yeah I’m glad we made it we made it happen down aggressiveness has seemed the trademark and and how how it panned out today yeah and we came into this game knowing we were going to do it maybe a little bit more than usual um Dan Dan had mentioned that early in the week that you know he was going to really lean on our offense to make some things happen and certainly be aggressive on fourth down if if the opportunity to present itself and um there at the end I I know he was kind of in between on what he wanted to do and obviously made the right decision did was he really debating it with you guys with no he was internally debating it was he yeah and what faith does that show in you and the offense everybody that he bigger than anything like that’s like all all you want from a head coach is to believe in you and to and and that gives us that little extra ump to to want to make it happen and I’m not the one running or block but I’m sure those guys up front say all right you know you’re giving it to us to make this game and finish this game off on our terms and uh yeah it means it means a t yeah it today seemed like his day down there certainly in the red zone and um he he’s been so consistent since he got here as far as unselfish blocks does everything right and he hasn’t gotten a touchdown what week are we in 14 15 whatever it is hasn’t got a touchdown until today and um had two of them and he deserves it man he’s a stud and uh I’m so happy he’s on our team Dan said that uh despite all the games that you played that you would remember this one me personally yeah said that you would what do you think that’s true and if so why oh yeah um circumstances around it I think yeah you know it’s a division game it’s at home it’s Prime Time told us early in the week he was going to lean on the offense you know kind of kind of challenged the offense early in the week challenged myself challenged you know the the guys on the offense like hey it’s your turn to hold hold your weight and carry the load and make this thing happen and make this thing go and um for me that’s like the greatest feeling ever you know you’re like all right let’s let’s fing go and let’s make this thing happen and um ultimately we got the win and and we played pretty well on offense has it gotten to the point where when it’s Fourth Down you don’t even really think you’re ever coming off the field no no no I no I I think he he obviously plays that line you know of of what he wants to do and um but certainly we’re aggressive and that’s kind of been our thing for for a couple years and I think it does it does it does change the way teams have to prepare they have to prepare for you know fourth down and and fourth and short and have have you know ideas of what they want to do and um I think he’s done a really good job of deciding when to go and when not to go and certainly because it worked everyone’s going to say you guys are going to say great call and if it didn’t work you guys would be crushing him and that’s that’s the game he plays and um that’s why he’s he’s the guy with the big stones and and we trust them feels like these meetings between you and GRE Bay just keep getting just go ahead chipp and chipper uh how have you seen the intensity in this robbery kind of evolved over the last handful of years yeah I think yeah I I there listen they’re a great team they are they they’re a tough team and they’re a really tough defense they’re a really tough offense they’re really well coached they got a lot of good players um and I think in the last two years um we’ve been able to beat them you know a handful of times in a row and that doesn’t mean that you know we have like some sort of uh you know magic over them like we’ve just been able to handle it and I think that you know they’re probably um frustrated about it and that’s okay and you know we want to try to keep beating them but you know you tip your cap they’re a good team and so are we and um I’m glad these games have been very close and very entertaining and I’m glad we’ve won them but what does it mean playoff spot yeah I just heard that yeah pretty cool um certainly yeah not what we what our ultimate goal is you know we want to win this Division and got some work to do still but um yeah cool to know that we’re we’re in the dance and um want to see where we’re seated now you had six guys with five catches today ties an NFL record just what does that say about this offense and just all the pieces that you got out yeah we we we have a we have a lot of guys we can throw to and um you know we got three tight ends I feel comfortable throwing to we got three or four five receivers when all healthy that I feel comfortable thrown to two running backs which is rare that I feel comfortable thrown to and um yeah it was It was a a good day today to spread that ball around and again we knew we were going to be a little bit aggressive offensively and um it worked out David and get a lot of credit for their uh skilled with the ball how about their blocking picking up blocking blitzing linebackers today in particular yeah uh it I think those guys take pride in it and and Scotty their coach takes a lot of pride in it and um when you have running backs that care that much about protecting me and and wanting to make sure that I’m taking care of back there it means the world and um those guys are studs I can’t say enough good things about them and um I’m happy they’re on our team thank you and La hold on last thing I got to talk about the defense real quick what our defense did this week is tremendous and I know the points whatever they had guys out there that got here on Sunday that were playing and doing a hell of a job and um credit AG credit that staff over there and credit those freaking players for playing their tails off today I mean they they went out there they let it hang and and and played hard ball and and made it hard on them it was fun to watch Saint Saint great game is that the best catch you’ve ever made actually there was one better when the Chicago game Minnesota no getting Cure auto insurance are you for real seriously when I got here in Michigan car insurance was the worst but saving up to 40% by switching to cure was my best catch Cure auto insurance Drive well did Detroit Lions live is brought to you by Cure auto insurance log on to cure.com to see how you can save Detroit Lions signed four new defensive players this week they needed to bolster that side of the defense so it’s great to see golf give a lot of love to the defense they did surrender the most points this season to any team 31 but we we’re not going to harp on that listen we’re not going to do that here’s the new faces Jamal Adams yes that Jamal Adams the veteran he knew Aaron Glenn back at his LSU Pro Day 8 years ago and they’ve just flourished without relationship that’s one of the big reasons he’s here today miles Adam another veteran in here coming up on the defensive line Quan Alexander you heard his name early on he was making sure he was pressuring the pocket and then Jonah Williams he came in stepped up big previously with the Cardinals those are those are all new faces here a little here’s a roster I had to keep a roster on me all day right Danny it’s just amazing like Jared said some of these guys got in on Sunday but some and these guys came in and they made impactful plays and it’s just great to see and to me that’s Brad Holmes that’s Brad Holmes knowing the type of guys he needs to bring in here that’s Brad Holmes knowing that it’s only certain players that can play for the Detroit Lions of High character and these guys have to be those High character guys those guys you don’t mind plugging in those guys that you can count on so kudos to uh Brad Holmes Kudos Dan Campbell kudos to the position coaches to get those guys ready to play the game tonight A lot has fallen on Terell Williams defensive line coach and Kelvin Shepard linebackers coach’s plates and they have they’ve created a masterpiece with what they’ve been able to do with the defense looking at the quarterback comparison Jordan love had only three completions in the first half if we want to keep beefing up how well that Detroit Lions defense played they only allowed three completions from love taking a look at the comparison three touchdowns to just one from Jordan love he was 12 of 20 um in a Green Bay uniform compared to Jared G’s 41 attempts which I know Detroit doesn’t love to see that many times uh that gol has to throw the ball yeah I’m really shocked that Jared threw the ball 41 times Danny because when we played them early in the year we ran the ball 32 times so I thought that would be kind of the blueprint we would use again against this Green Bay team but again you know give Jared credit for taking advantage of the opportunities that he was getting and making the most out of those opportunities again we’re a team that’s establish ourselves off of the Run once we’re able to run the ball everything else comes off of that but we took we took a little different approach this to tonight and really kind of put the ball up in the air more so than we tried to run it and that ball B in the air found Jameson Williams a lot five catches for Williams good enough for 80 yards on the day he was targeted eight times when you see an open Lane downfield guy that’s crashing towards it that’s going to come up with a big catch it’s Williams yes Danny he takes little passes and the guy’s so explosive you he he could take it to the house it’s just great to see him clear out zones too A lot of times when he’s not getting the ball he is so important to our offense cuz he clears out those safties so amen so Sam Le pora so jir Gibbs or David Montgomery so they could come underneath and make completion so he’s vital to our offense and he’s going to be vital moving ahead as we move on through this season Jameson Williams LED all receivers for the Detroit Lions here today with those 80 yards Alan R st Brown a quier day today he still came up with 43 yards on five receptions those receptions were really spread out across this entire game but when these Detroit Lions need a first down they called on golf safety blanket which is St Brown yeah great Point Danny I mean they went to him early I think the first couple of passes were to Aman and like you said for some reason they weren’t able to get back to him to really like the second half of the game but anytime they get back to this guy he’s where he needs to be at he’s clutch he’s going to get that first down if you need that first down he’s going to do whatever it takes uh to help our offense be successful so armar you know he’s a guy he do have to get FedEd a lot he’s going to do a lot of other things to help that team like blocking and some of the other things that need to be done to help our team and St Brown isn’t going to get fed a lot because he has teammates like tight end Sam Lea who had five receptions for 54 yards today he had some massive first downs in this one too he did Sam is good and Sam is starting to get his feet back under him we’re starting to utilize Sam a little bit more Sam is starting to get his open too um so the guy so that Jared G can get the ball to him so I’m impressed with how this young man is hung in there because the season started off really really so slow for Sam leap por is starting to pick up more and more and you can see what’s what an intrical part he is to our offense speaking of an Iowa Hawkeye in Sam La pora his former teammate at Iowa linebacker Jack Kimble’s the only starter left in that room he led all Detroit Defenders with eight total tackles here today he is now the breath of of Life there in the defense he knows exactly how AG wants to run it and as long as he’s leading in tackles this that is a sure sign that this Detroit defense is on the right path it is Danny he’s weighing the Green Dot right now he’s a guy that’s responsible for lining our defense up making sure he get the defensive calls in there you know so he he’s an important piece and still a young guy he’s still young and for them to put this on his plate right now at this early age and for Jack to handle it the way he’s been handling it I mean it’s amazing so again he’s taken on the responsibility of Runing that Green Dot and he’s been doing a very good job because he has stepped his game up over the last couple of weeks because he has to four linebackers have been put on IR along the edge of this defense is ARA Smith was brought in from Cleveland at that trade deadline and he keeps delivering for these Detroit Lions he gets his third sack in a Detroit uniform here today it came on the first play for Green Bay in this game yeah it did it happened early uh for zarius and I’m so happy he was able to get that and have that impact play anytime you go against your former team you want to do well individually and team-wise you want to do well against some I think thought he did a great job again early in the game getting pressure on Jordan love getting the sack on Jordan love it kind of set the tempo kind of set the tone for the rest of the guys on that defensive line and the rest of the guys in that front seven Smith had to Anchor this defensive line because Al mcneel he did not finish this game he was following concussion protocol he left the game did not come back in um towards the end of it that was his second stint of leaving this game so he was a big veteran piece in that defense here today now we are officially watching the the the scores from every week we do that every week but now we really are paying attention especially to the NFC North because like Coach Campbell said Detroit wants that one sced they want the first round by and they want home field advantage for these playoffs here are the upcoming games that you want to look out for Vikings what is that Atlanta that is a big one Vikings need to help Detroit out by coming up with a loss that would be really helpful okay or Atlanta getting a win yes there you yes no we need a loss from the Vikings they need to add yes um exactly that’s a big one here to Eagles Carolina look Philly’s probably going to win that we need them to lose as well yes we’re just getting straight to the point with this one bucks sure why not why not lose it’s not going to do much just go and lose but it’ll help Danny why not um Cardinals you’ve been watching Cardinals real closely here to Seahawks that’s going to be a good game at exactly exactly one of those teams I don’t think is going to get in Danny this might be the game that to determine that that is wild and then bills are taking on La bills they need it would it would be nice if they came in here with a loss and a little depleted there you go there you go Matthew Stafford beat them up beat them up for us that’s right Dam and then bears and Niners they don’t have much weight right now on what Detroit um will do in the the playoffs but I mean if they could both lose why not just give them a tie Josh Allen and those Buffalo Bills are coming into fordfield next Sunday 425 kick what are you anticipating from a matchup like that I I anticipate a blood bath Danny these are two teams and going in that direction right there two teams that are trying to get to New Orleans in February this is going to be a great game you got high competitors and Josh Allen and Jared G going at it they got a nice Run game with uh James Cook uh versus our Run game they’re pretty good on the defensive side of the ball too so it’s going to be a challenge at Ford Field at 425 on that on that Sunday but I do expect with this home crowd and with how they’ve been supporting this team I do expect us to get a close tough hard Victory well it was a tough fa Victory here today that’s a big boy win when you have a depleted defense they were sick of hearing that all week they come out and when they needed to stop those Green Bay Packers the most they came up with some really big stops Zeke Turner by the way he came up with a big third down on one of those final drives for Green Bay your final takeaways from this 34 to 31 win for Detroit to clinch a birth in the playoffs Danny we knew it was going to be a hard game a hard fought game because like you said we were so depleted but I’m so proud of these guys for stepping up and really taking the ch challenge I know these coaches challenged these guys this week and not only did they challenge the guys that had been here but they challenged the new guys that came here the new guys stepped up the guys that have been here stepped up that’s what this team has been doing all year long Danny and I I I know they’re going to continue to do the same why because that’s how we’re built Detroit keep it rolling now 12- one on the season here in week 14 they take down the Green Bay Packers 3 34-31 right inside Ford Field and Detroit come on back next week for week 15 as they take on the bills one step closer to that one seed in the NFC one step closer to that first round Buy in the playoffs because Lions already going to the playoffs we already know that for Lis Brown I’m Danny Rogers thanks so much for tuning in to Detroit Lions live postgame show we’ll see you
