In this bonus episode, Daddy and I discuss the home team, the Detroit Lions, as they get a much needed victory against the Cowboys in TNF. This was a must win for the Lions if they wanted to keep their playoff hopes alive. And in true Lions fashion, they did just that. In a dominating 44-30 win, the Lions showed up when they needed to. From great offensive play calling, efficient play in all three phases, and record tying performances, the Lions season is still very much alive. Whether you’re a Lions fan, a Lions hater (😉), or just like to watch/talk good football, we hope you enjoyed this conversion.
