Lions players react to Thursday's wild finish

In the NFL world, teams ask that their players remain silent. To stray even a little bit from the very strict "it's-a-tough-loss" "we-need-to-play-better" script, could put the team at risk of the dreaded Distraction. But after a game like Thursday's loss to the Packers, some Lions players couldn't hold it in. They are humans, after all.
