Wired for Sound: Lions' Week 9 Victory Over the Dolphins

Favorite parts of the show is called Wired for Sound, and it gives us all a chance to hear the actual conversations that take place on the field in the heat of battle. Like last week's matchup against Miami, it's all brought to you by your Southeast Michigan Ford dealers. Hey, the three of you, I can't block y'all. I got you, brother. It has been an emotional week for the Lions. A number of the players showing up to today's game wearing 46 jerseys to honor Jack, and knowing Jack and the kind of guy he is, he would say, get out there and do it. Get this ready. It is up, and it is good. Right down the middle. Lions lead it now by a score of 6-3. Get your pound levels down. Down kick on the way. It is good. Jake sends it through, and the Lions extend their lead. It is now Detroit 9 and Miami 3 here in the third quarter. Let's get a score. Touchdown. Wants to throw, does downfield, got J-Mo, makes the catch, in Dolphins territory, inside the 40-yard line he goes, and he's shoved out near the 35. That's what we needed. Two out of two on fourth down so far today. Fourth and one from the Dolphin 8. Goff up under center, turns, flips it out to Gibbs, trying to get outside right. He will, to the five, to the end zone. Touchdown Detroit Lions. First and goal into the air, and a four-man rush, and here they come. The snap, back and looking, pressure comes, Willis rolls to his left, he and Chase still looking, now he's hit, now he's going down, sack to 15-yard line, them again! Bakke is the single back behind Goff, he's up under center, count, Dolphins don't bite, Jared takes, keeps it himself. I'm the first, got it, yeah, Jared, got it, yeah, Jared, got it, let's keep going. Here we go. Appreciate it, buddy. Thank you. I'm so proud of you guys. I am unbelievably proud for the week that we had to be able to come in here and finish the way that we finished against a hungry young team. I'm very proud of you. I really am, man. I love this team. It was built for a reason. The guys that are in this room, you're in here for a reason. And, of course, football players. But it's what you freaking made up, man. Do you want to say something? I do. I do. I just wanted to say how incredibly proud I am of everyone in this room, all you players and the coaches. This has been a hugely emotional week. You all hung together, stuck together, leaned on each other, and look what we did. We won. It was great. I'm so proud of you all. I saw Jack a couple days ago, and he was worried about all of you. Well, I know he's not now. I know he's as proud of you as I am. So, awesome job. Congratulations. We're all proud of you and with you. Let's break it down. What a play, defense. That's four, boys. Okay, okay, okay. Boys, that's four. That's four. Make it five this week. Stick together. Stick together. Keep leaning on each other. Love you, boys. One, two, three, one, two, three. Win. Bill, I love the fact that these guys still have Jack Campbell foremost in their mind and they're bringing him in every game. And on their hearts. And they said all last week they wanted to prepare and play like 46. That was one of the keys to victory. And the linebackers in particular brought that to life. And a huge credit to linebackers coach Sean Dion Hamilton for getting those guys ready to go. But Malcolm Rodriguez, Derek Barnes, and Trevor Nowoski in the stead of one of their best friends stepped up in a big way. That's going to have to continue over the final nine-plus game.
