Week Ten: Detroit Lions (7-1) @ Houston Texans (6-3)

My girlfriend who I transitioned to a Lions fan this year: "I NEVER DOUBTED THEM. Maybe part of that is because I haven't been hurt by them like you. BUT STILL."

This team is unbelievable. That's all I've got to say, this was the type of win that Championship teams pull out and only championship level teams.

Bates was selling bricks to the coyote or roadrunner at Acme Bricks?

Guess they didn't need Za'Darius Smith tonight

Man, how many games… or dozens of games… have we seen the Lions lose like that over the years? It is good to win one. 

Kudos to AG. This defense kept the team in it. 

Really SOLs would have been the Lions being the others side... dominate a team in the first half... 5 INTS, and still lose.

They won a game and threw 5 interceptions. Absolutely bonkers, and I love it.

Dan Miller’s call of the final kick. 

I’m so glad Dan Miller gets to call a team like this.

[Shinzaki]

I swear...Bates looked so calm lining that kick up...I think he even smiled a little

First time since 1970 a team threw 5 interceptions and was down by 15 points and came back to win. According to the talking heads.

I showed up at the last possible moment today. Saw we were behind most of the game on the ESPN app on my phone and checked back in with four seconds left and saw the result. Wow. Truly breathtaking on what has been for me a pretty crappy day. Too much drama today as well as this week. 

25 police cars and dozens of police descended on my apartment complex today and after 90 min. and a final speaker phoneplea from officers there were five crisp shots like a hammer pounding on fresh pine wood then out came a bearded, barefoot man on a stretcher with CPR being applied. There was a screaming from a woman just before all the police cars arrived. I think she’s OK. In the last several hours since the shooting, there has been very little news about it locally.

That was maybe the worst game of Jared Goff's career and they still won it. 

This team is unreal, man. 

And we get Z next week. 

 

Sports fans in Detroit deserve this.  We've been suffering for a long, long time. 

And the Pistons might be decent oo. 

Too bad the Red Wings are such a snore.

Dan Miller’s call of the final kick. I inadvertently cut it off right before Dan said “you ask the Lions to set the bar, the Lions say how high”

Thank God. I needed this tonight.

Last reports are he was still alive. I don’t know how anyone could survive five shots from an A.R. 15. Several officers had them, but I don’t know for sure if the officer who fired the shots had one since he was out of my view. But I was no more than 30 yards away.

I’m sorry to hear that; it works on my iPhone, but my moderator privileges may give me an edge. I don’t know.

OMG...I'm glad there were no stray shots! That would shake anybody up. Glad you're OK!

Imagine Detroit appearing on this list twice.
