From his jersey hanging in the stall in the visitor's locker room
to the number 46 on the back of Calvin Shepard's defensive call sheet,
everything the Lions did this week was about winning number six for 46.
And it showed on the field Sunday against the Dolphins.
For everything that this week has been, this has not been easy.
It's not been easy on anybody.
Anybody?
And for them to come in here, man, and lock back in and fight,
get in a dogfight with a team, which, by the way,
Coach Half is doing a hell of a job.
That team plays hard.
The tape said so.
We knew it would be that way.
And hang in there and do what you have to do in the second half
to finish this game.
I'm unbelievably proud.
Four in a row now in four different ways,
and that's the hallmark of a good team is when you're able to find
different ways to win repeatedly and just sticking in it.
You know, defense played well, I thought, all day,
but I can only speak for us offensively, like, just one more time.
Chop wood one more time, chop wood one more time,
and it doesn't matter who you're playing, what their record is.
You know, this is NFL, and they were giving us all we could handle,
and we just kept chopping wood, kept chopping wood,
and felt good about the way we finished it.
During the four-game win streak,
Detroit's defense has allowed just 15.5 points per game.
And on Sunday, they allowed a season-low 228 total yards,
holding their opponent without a touchdown
for the first time since 2024.
To see Demo get going, too, and Aleem getting another one,
it's really just trying to create pressure all day
and make that quarterback uncomfortable.
And I think we did that.
We've got a great unit, man, so we've
just got to keep these boys together.
And stay healthy and keep playing fast.
Once you got on the field, was it easy to kind of,
did you keep them in your mind or put that off to the side?
Definitely, definitely keep them in your mind.
This is a physical game, physical sport.
We all have emotions outside of this game.
We're not just football players.
So it's like we definitely think about
our brother, and he's thinking about us,
and we know that the message that was kind of passed
to us from him is that he's worried about us.
You know, he's worried about how we're about
to attack the week and attack the game.
So it's like, man, we got to go out there
and definitely do this for him.
On the way out, I literally, you know, tapped the number 46.
46 and
You know, even now somebody had his jersey outside
when we was running out there and it was dangling, you know, I went,
you know, I touched my chest, you know, and touched his jersey
and just to, you know, get some of that rub off on him.
And man, and then I actually knocked the jersey down on accident.
So I was like, yeah, I can't pick it up so fast.
I just can't be on the ground and gave back to the guy. But
No, man, like I said, man, Jack Jackson is special to us, man.
You know, however we could, you know, be here to support him
and love on him from a distance, you know, I'm all for it.
And near the end of his press conference,
Dan Campbell made sure to tell us that that jersey is going everywhere
with the Lions, including to Munich this week.
