Wired for Sound: Week 8 Victory Over the Vikings

Just heard Lomas talking about it, the way the Lions finished that game against the Vikings last week. It is always fun to go back and talk about a victory. Take another look. We're going to do that now in Wired for Sound. Brought to you by your Southeast Michigan Ford dealers. I got you, brother. Right now, everybody out here looking fresh and slayed. Boys, I want three in a row. I want three in a row. Let's go. Jared takes the snap. Back, looking, got time, pumps downfield. Got a man wide open. It's Jamo inside the... I've been around the NFL since 1985. That's the first time I've ever seen that formation right there. Takes the snap. Tosses it back. That is Gibbs weaving through traffic. 25-yard line. To the left at the 20. Outside the numbers at the 15. Down to the 10. Down to the 5. Still fighting. End zone. Touchdown Detroit Lions. Run. Run. There's the snap. Murray's got it back, looking, throwing, middle, caught. Short of the first down by Hawkinson. It will be fourth and four. We have a lion down on the field. If you pray, send one up for Jack right now. That's right. You're absolutely right. It's a brotherhood when you get to a situation like this. Everybody understands the possibilities, and nobody wants to see that. The stadium is quiet, delicate situation in Detroit. to regroup emotionally for this for this defense for this whole building it's just the air kind of gets let out of the entire building when you see one of your brothers goes down how do you play it down after that See Aiden Hutchinson with tears trying to rally his guys. And it's fourth and four to boot. The Vikings on fourth down will keep their offense on the field. It is fourth and five from the Lion 25. Lions hanging on to a five-point lead. Big play right here. Murray's going to work out of the gun. He leans in on fourth down. There's the snap. Murray back. Murray looking. Going to get hit as he throws. It is up and it is incomplete. DJ Reed knocked it away from the intended receiver, Jordan Addison. It is going to be Lions football. They'll take over on downs. Bring it on. We're finishing this game. Hey, this is Jack, man. This is a shot for him. It is third and about six inches. Play clock down to seven as they come to the line. Goff's going to keep it himself. He's got the first down and a flag comes in. Who's that on? It's going to be against the Lions. Oh, my goodness. You can't do that. Tight end is coming up. Line number one. So Jack Fox to punt. I know. I know. I know. Devaki again, gets down to the 30-yard line. There he goes to the 25. That's another 10-yard run for Sione Vaki. Lions are leaning on this Vikings defense, and they've been doing it on the ground. Oh, ----! Lions down three, knocking on the door. Goff takes, fakes the give, sets in the pocket, floats end zone. Jamo caught the team. I'll get for you. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. You did this! Coming up for Detroit, if they convert, it's game over. Goff brings them to the line. We'll be right back. Jared takes the snap, keeps it himself, fights for it. He got the first down. Ball game, baby. Exactly what we had to do. You guys just hung in there. That's a gritty win, man. That's a gritty win. Like, that's one of those deep playoff wins, man. You guys, break it down. Boys, stick together. I know that's tough with Jack. Stick together, lean on each other, all right? Good job. Win on three. One, two, three. Win. Lions getting ready to go. And some good news, Brian Branch getting ready to go. Some questions earlier this week after he was in concussion protocol. But we saw him get a full practice in. And then as the week went on, it became apparent that he was going to be ready for this one. And that is a big part of this Lions defense, which has continued to improve over the last three games. Looking to make it four in a row today as they get set to go against the Dolphins.
