00:00Saturday night football to kick off a new week around the

00:06National Football League week 14 now underway after a

00:10monumental match up in the Motor City, the Lions and the

00:14Packers on Thursday night to start week 14 to recap here on

00:19a football Friday on the early line on sports grid. Joe. It

00:23was not your usual Thursday night football game. It was not

00:27week for either team both teams playing on Thanksgiving, which

00:32made the fact that both had a full week off in a game that

00:36entered with a three and a half point spread that had stayed

00:39largely there a 51 and a half point total that was up by a

00:43full point 52 and a hook by the time we got the kick last night.

00:48It made the atmosphere the stage and the significance here

00:51as we are about to begin our fifth to final week of this NFL

00:56regular season that much more fitting. Could it live up to

00:59the expectation? It certainly did the Lions walking it off

01:04with a last second field goal that was set up to be last

01:08second 3431 Jake Bates delivers that 35 yarder and the Lions

01:15edge out the Packers by three points that hook that remained

01:19with the hook all week long turned out to be significant.

01:24The Packers do cover as an underdog and that high total on

01:27a Thursday night of 52 and a half does sky over. Yeah, what

01:32a what a difference a game makes and what a difference from

01:36the first time that these guys played where the Green Bay

01:39defenseman actually only allowed what 17 points in the

01:43rain. They held them to 3.9 yards per carry on 32 carries

01:49and your boy that was born a different game. That was last

01:52night a absolute shootout and with all the injuries,

01:57including another one by the way on the defensive side,

02:00McNeil was ruled out with a head injury to start that

02:03second half. Just another growing list of players on that

02:07Detroit defense. That's not going to be available to them

02:11Ben, but you know what when the offense can do what they can do

02:14and they can drop over 30 points on an opposing defense.

02:19You're you can overcome those kinds of injuries, but the

02:23reality is I don't anticipate them taking a step back or

02:27breathing or exhaling. I think Dan Campbell is going to keep

02:31these guys fired up. I think they're going to want to run

02:34the table and it would not shock me given the schedule that

02:37they do just that.
