The Detroit Lions are once again raking in the kudos for coming out victorious in an absolute shootout with the Chargers on Sunday afternoon.
In a matchup that featured 954 total yards on offense, Detroit managed to advance to 7-2 thanks to a game-winning field goal from Riley Patterson. Final score: 41-38.
It was an exciting day at SoFi Stadium that kept fans and impartial viewers on their toes basically the whole game. Here’s what they’re saying nationwide about the Detroit Lions:
Mentioned last year on @RichEisenShow that I considered @lions @amonra_stbrown a Top 10 receiver and many thought I was off my rocker.

Dan Campbell could have attempted a field goal to take the lead
I love the confidence to go for it
That’s a great win for the @Lions on the road
(Also Dan Campbell unambiguously rules)

Dan Campbell just called the most audacious run of the season. That was WILD confidence in his OL just being able to bully the Chargers.

- I just got a kick out of this. Megan, who I’ve deemed the unofficial president of the traveling Lions fans, ran into the Chargers fan from “Monday Night Football.” In case you were lucky enough to miss all that conspiracy nonsense, here’s what happened.

- In case you were wondering what exactly the Taylor Decker penalty was all about:
For anyone who cares, here's the 2021 rule change that netted Decker a flag that negated Jameson Williams' touchdown. Players can no longer block low 2 yards outside tackle alignment. Applies to defenders, as well. Jerry Jacobs recently flagged for same: https://t.co/TRGb3WWPYe
