Four rushing TDs between the teams now, that’s rare these days.

The whole town is just buzzing. Everywhere I go the Lions are the topic of discussion.

Grit, frustration, anger, years of being losers. Detroit wants a Super Bowl appearance at least.

That Lions running game is something. 16 carries for 133 yards right now.

If they can keep this up, San Fran’s defense will be totally mowed-down by the middle of the 4th quarter.

With all 3 timeouts remaining, the Lions shouldn’t have been throwing the ball on 2nd down.

I’d instantly recognized him, as he’s had a major role in _The Mandalorian_ over the past few years.

One failed 4th down and a richochet catch later and it’s a new ball game.

Yep. Niners made the best of that lucky break. And the extra point is good.

Lions are famous for blowing it. I hope this team doesn’t throw away what was an amazing first half.
