00:00Yeah, real quick, let's just go through last night's game.

00:03Did you see anything that would take the idea away that the Lions should be favored to win

00:07the NFC?

00:08I mean, that was a pretty resounding win, I thought, over the Vikings.

00:12The Lions, to me, are going to be a really tough out.

00:14Now, anything can happen in one game.

00:16I don't want to say that it can't, because we've seen this play out before, and they

00:19clearly could lose in the Super Bowl very easily.

00:21But I got to feel like Detroit is going to make a little bit of a run here, right?

00:26Yeah, everything looks like it's going to line right up for a Lions-Eagles-NFC championship

00:31game, which should be fantastic.

00:32I mean, these two teams match up really well against each other.

00:36And you've got the Lions, I mean, all the defensive adversity, it seems like every game

00:40someone comes back and someone else gets hurt.

00:43But still, they're fighting, they're making plays out there, they're active, really held

00:48this Vikings offense down, especially in the red zone, made some big plays.

00:52So you got to credit Aaron Glenn.

00:54I know Ben Johnson gets a lot of credit, but Aaron Glenn is working with a shortened

00:59deck here, and he's really kind of got this team to overachieve on that side of the ball.

01:03I think that's going to be the key.

01:05The Lions, we know, can score on anyone, but are they going to have a repeat of the Bills

01:09game where they got blown out and somebody can score more than they can?

01:13And the Eagles certainly can do that.

01:14So I think they need the Lions' defense to contain things, because we know they can put

01:19up points with anybody and outscore anybody who's left in the tournament field at this

01:23point.
