Gutsy win by detroit.  Hard not to like them.

This is a great relaxing game to watch. No BS ref calls as well for the most part.

I hadn't put my finger on it until you mentioned it.

 

Yes, the lack of flags especially DPIs and holdings is VERY refreshing.

Jennings just won me my Fantasy Football Championship in a nail biter at the end by under 2 points and a good chunk of change in the process 😀

What is wild is 2 14-2 teams will play next week, 1 for the 1 seed and other a wildcard spot.

 

Has a team with 14 wins ever been in wildcard play? Just insane...

Just a few weeks ago quite a few of the Lions players were acting like complete d-bags numerous times, plenty of dirty and late shots usually after the whistle, sometimes during play. From that point on I’ve been wishing for them to lose each and every week and will continue doing so.

his team was stacked on both sides of the ball with HOFers and HOF nominees.

At least part of that is because the DBs aren't close enough to the receivers to hold or interfere with catches.  😁

I don't like them. Who likes the enemy?

in 1999 JAX finished 1st in the AFC Central at 14-2.TEN was 2nd at 13-3 TEN had to play in the WC against BUF. Not 14 wins, but there were only 16 games then.

Purdy is not the guy. 

 

That's my take from this game. May be an overreaction but too many lazy lapses of judgement. Bad picks.

First time Detroit has won in SF since November 75

Lions playing starters and running trick plays in a meaningless game is a very Dan Campbell thing to do. Lions are fun but I can't help but think they are blowing their load in the regular season and it's going to end up biting them.

Wasn't meaningless

A loss here would have meant they would have to win week 18, the tie factor would belong to Minnesota 

And while ties are rare it was still in the equation

The 99 Titans where 13-3  , but I don't believe any 14 win team has been a wc before
