This might be the best Sunday for Lions football in my lifetime.

[RedRamage]

Lions tied for best record in the NFL!

[Jason_R]

This was an impressive win. The defense just stifled the Bucs all day. 

And the two undefeated NFC teams both fell today so Detroit is now running with them at 5-1. Great day for Detroit football. 

[number20]

Only downside to this is we’re becoming one of those teams that now drafts late. No more top picks unless we trade up

[lordstanley]

Do those old Dolphin grumps still light up cigars when the last unbeaten falls?

Disagree with the Jets-Philly announcers. If the Jets had just slid down and then had to settle for just a FG, the Eagles would have still got the ball back with a minute to go and needing only a FG to win. 

Philly woulda had to use timeouts. It was a 1st down run.

[Sports_Freak]

It wasn't just the play calling. It was the players executing. Great win for this whole organization. Road Warriors!

When was the last time anyone said the Road to the Super Bowl goes thru Detroit? 😄

[CMRivdogs]

They definitely bit a few kneecaps this afternoon 

[RandyMarsh]

13-3 in their last 16 with 2 of them being a loss in OT and on a last second FG. 

[Motor City Sonics]

The atmosphere of that Monday Night game against the Raiders in a few weeks is going to be maybe the loudest game in NFL history.  

[Motor City Sonics]

Remember, two years ago, before Dan & Brad built the team they really wanted it took the Baltimore Raves and missed Delay of Game call and an all-time record field goal to beat the Lions.   

Ain't scared of no Ravens !

And the third being a game played with turf that later got condemned by the NFL.

I think that's the game they wear those spiffy helmets 

[MichiganCardinal]

With a three-game lead in the NFC North, it’s not crazy to think they could lock up the division by early December.

Road games against the Saints and Bears or a home game against the Broncos could do it.

Jaymo's TD;

The 2005 season.

I’d like to send an appreciation to Alex Anzalone. Even with the modest contract extension he signed fans hated the move.  He is having a phenomenal season and is clearly leading this defense. He is all over the field and is a sure tackler.

I hope Jack Campbell is on the Alex Anzalone trajectory.

I will get the two  TDs up soon 

For now, the Bucs failing to convert on 4th down with a minute to go

I have a feeling you'll be saying that a lot on many future Sundays. Both a testament to how pathetic Lions history has been and how good this team is.

A wild stat to me is that the Lions were 0-13-1 in Dan Campbell's first 14 road games and 7-1 in the last 8. Literally flipped a switch but we should have seen it coming because the Lions lost a whole crapload of close games not only early last season but the previous season as well so they were close and was only a matter of time until the dam broke and damn has it ever.

good win.  bucs defense is impressive.

bucs also missed two touchdowns when mayfield missed an open receiver behind the defense on a big throw.  

they need branch back AND i wouldnt mind seeing them trade for a decent cb if one can be found.  jacobs and harris are good bench players but not starters on championship teams.

And now the full 4-minute radio game recap with Dan Miller calls. The ASB TD at the 30s mark, the Jamo TD at the 2m 5s mark.
