00:00the Minnesota Vikings, and the Detroit Lions.
00:02I don't, sometimes I say, like, I don't know.
00:04Was it just so simple as Ben Johnson leaving
00:06and everything breaks down on offense?
00:08Because the Detroit Lions, all they did was turn it over
00:11by interception and fumble all day long.
00:13And Minnesota was like, well,
00:15if we don't really have to play offense and win,
00:17we don't have to play any offense.
00:1816 pass attempts for Brosmer, 51 yards.
00:22And they won this game, Joe, by two touchdowns.
00:26It almost doesn't make sense.
00:28No, well, it does when you dive into the numbers, Donnie,
00:31because any time you see, all right, who won the turnover battle?
00:35Well, the Lions turned it over six times.
00:37Like, and Goff had two interceptions and three fumbles.
00:42So, you know, he single-handedly, the Vikings didn't win this game.
00:46The Vikings' defense won this game, and that was it.
00:50And one big play, Jordan Addison, for 65 yards,
00:54it wasn't a pass.
00:55It was an end around, and he dropped it into a different gear
00:59and blew by everyone.
01:01And that was your ballgame.
01:02That was it.
01:02And the Vikings responded by, the Lions responded after that
01:06by turning the ball over again.
01:07So, it just looked like the Lions' season was over last week
01:11after losing to Pittsburgh.
01:13It feels like the Lions lost that Steelers game twice now, Donnie.
01:17It really does.
01:18Like, it's almost like you got out-physicaled against Pittsburgh.
01:20This was supposed to be a layup game just to keep you involved,
01:22and it wasn't a layup at all.
01:23By the way, like, they're so talented still in offense.
01:25I know the offensive line was banged up, and they even lost, you know,
01:28Pene Sewell for a little bit yesterday.
01:30We have Jared Goff, a quarterback.
01:31He's a solid player.
01:32Maybe the best one-two punch at running back in Gibbs and Montgomery.
01:3530 carries total for 68 yards and no touchdowns yesterday.
01:39And it just seems like their offense is now built on Aminorah St. Brown.
01:42I'll throw him the ball every single play because he led the team with 13 targets.
01:46You know who was second?
01:47Isaac Tisla at four targets here.
01:49You know, even looking at Jamison Williams,
01:50it's almost like this offense just is one player,
01:53and if that player doesn't move the offense, which is Aminorah St. Brown,
01:55they can't do it.
01:56When you saw with Ben Johnson, everybody was getting involved.
01:59Now, granted, different seasons, some guys banged up.
02:02The offensive line not as good.
02:03He lost a couple tight ends.
02:04I understand that.
02:05But still no excuses for that game yesterday.
02:07For me, Joe, I did have a prop loss on Justin Jefferson.
02:10Actually, I had him over 61 and a half.
02:11I'm saying, look, they probably should lose the game, which they didn't,
02:14but he's close to 1,000 yards.
02:16And when you're out of the playoffs, like, hey, you know what,
02:18Max Rose, just feed me the football.
02:20Four catches for 30 yards.
02:22He led the team.
02:22The second guy, Joe, 10 yards receiving,
02:25and they still won the football game.
02:28Man.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Yeah.
02:29And they had backups to the backups on their offensive line.
02:32It wasn't all bros, but I mean, they could not protect him.
02:36The guy was under arrest the entire game.
02:39But I'll tell you what, Jefferson, one of the biggest catches he had
02:42was on a big third down to close the game out.
02:44In the fourth quarter.
02:46And he got it.
02:47And that was what sealed the game for Minnesota,
02:51who is now somehow 8-8 on the season, Donnie.
02:55And that's Andy Reid and O'Donnell were our two guys that coaching matters.
03:01When you've got third-string guys under center,
03:04and you can still either win a game or be relatively close
03:09and have a chance to win a game, you know,
03:11that's all about coaching there.
