Like I said, my copium is that the last 4:15 of this game was the Lions finally clicking and playing to their full potential. I would put a hard cap at our power ranking at #3 unless Philly and Baltimore both start losing while we keep winning.

The first two stats ignore playoffs. The third does not. But still, this is an amazing coincidence.

I went back to fact check on Pro Football Reference and can confirm you’re right.

We all know how this ends.

The Bills are shooketh.

So the Raiders go back to scoring like 16 PPG.

People keep talking about the possible all-time wins record for Belichick. But he is only 6 away from tying the all-time losses record at 165.

I’ve never seen so many throwaways by a QB.

You should 100% go for 2 there.

Down with the Sickness plays. LMFAO.

Doesn’t hurt that Disturbed is from Chicago.

C’mon. Get a safety.

PSA: The music in the background is America the Beautiful.

There have been like 6 different instances when my brain expects Bagent to make a huge throw and then he checks it down behind the line of scrimmage.

Genuine question. I googled it and I can’t figure out why. Why is it called a “duck” when a QB throws a weak, wobbly pass?

I should be doing my SQL homework. I honestly might enjoy it more. So why do I watch anyway?

That punt return TD might be the difference in this game.

Every time Tyson Bagent just checks it down to the right and they get good yardage out of it.

The Vikings are an enigma. Despite this they’ve won a decent number of games. I see them as being a bizarro-world NFCN version of the Steelers.

A team with so much history of regular season success, a team that has never gone into a protracted slide, a team that has had so many chances to make it to the top of the mountain. But yet unlike the Steelers, they have inexplicably never made it over the hump.

There is definitely an alternate universe out there where the Vikings won those 4 Super Bowls in the 1970s and like 1 or 2 per decade since then.
