Have now....😆

No let up now. Play the next 1:48 as if you’re protecting a 4-point lead late in 4th. 

[Motown Bombers]

The Lions had two drives in the 3rd quarter against Denver and they were both 75 yard TD drives.

We can expect the usual 3rd quarter sag, so I hope the Lions score and run out most of the 1st half clock here. 

That's why I was happy the Lions won the flip and took the ball. The 8 minute TD drive was sweet!

Vikings get ball first in 2nd half?

Melifonwu is like a secret weapon. 

[Toddwert]

Melifownu  abusing Mullins

[RandyMarsh]

Melifonwu shot out of a cannon again!

[number20]

I know he's up against Mullens, but Glenn is calling a really good game today

Melifonwu!!!!

That timeout call was extremely bad coaching.  Why is Campbell giving more time to jefferson?  I just can’t believe that. So obvious you don’t call a timeout there. Let it run. 

[Jason_R]

Sutton just got abused. 

[1984Echoes]

And then Jefferson...

[number20]

You know Jefferson was eventually going to eat today

Hated that TO

Yep, no reason with that field position. Even if the Lions had stopped the Vikings, the likely would have backed up the Lions within the 20.

And again. 

[number20]

That looks like Jefferson got knocked into Iffy

[MichiganCardinal]

I didn’t like the timeout. Take the ten-point lead.

[TP_Fan]

As soon as Campbell called that timeout it was a guaranteed touchdown for the Vikings.  He loses his mind when he coaches in Minnesota.  Vikings were just gonna let it end.  Trash call. 

[Kamakzie]

Too much time...

[Tigerbomb13]

Jefferson just abuses the secondary. 

[RandyMarsh]

Just an absolutely disastrous turn of events.

Iffy was going for the ball...

Why the penalty?

It shoulda been Vikings penalty not offsetting...
