Wow, Mixon had 25 carries for 46 yards. I had no clue he had that many carries.

The line was 3.5 all week so Houston still covered....unless there were a ton of big money line bets?

Brian Branch just confirmed what we all suspect....they asked him.....were there any adjustments made at half time to the defense...."No, not really."

These Lions fans on the road are insane. We just keep filling stadiums. My uncle flew there to go to the game tonight.

How many of the interception were Goffs fault ? The hail mary isn't a big deal other than he couldn't get the ball to the end zone. But I just watch something that said 3 of them were the pass catchers fault. I'm trying to remember them. LaPorta never looked for the ball but I thought it was behind him. I forget. One could been called a fumble.
Man what a win . I can't sleep.

I've been re-watching both of Bates kicks. Those have to be the two straightest kicks in history. The hold is on each hash mark and the ball literally goes dead straight right off of his foot and never moves left or right at all. It's pretty amazing the ball never deviates from that path even an inch.

I was there... the "Let's Go Lions" cheers were audible on TV from what I hear. On FG attempts there was so much cheering from both sides (happy with a miss/make) you couldn't tell if it was good or not until the ref signaled.
Pretty good game, and I'm not a big Loins fan.
Goff played like he had icewater in his veins. no emotion at all from throwing 5 picks, and the Lions looked more confident than the Texans no matter what the score was.
Stroud is not the guy. as talented as he is, he just can't perform if he's pressured or forced out of the pocket. same as college.
There were a handful of times late in the game where he should've kept it and we noted he had open field, but instead kept scrambling and throwing contested passes

The only players in Lions history to rush for a TD in seven of the team's first nine games of a season:
1. David Montgomery (2024).
2. Barry Sanders (1990).
Lions RBs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs are the NFL's first RB duo to each log 700+ scrimmage yards and 8+ scrimmage TDs through a team's first nine games of a season since the 1959 Browns (RBs Jim Brown & Bobby Mitchell).
The Lions have three players with 7+ TDs through the first 9 games of a season for the first time in franchise history:
1. David Montgomery
2. Amon-Ra St. Brown
3. Jahmyr Gibbs
The only other time the Lions had multiple players with 7 TDs thru 9 games was in 1963.
The Lions have recorded an INT in each of the first nine games of the season and have yet to allow multiple TD passes in a game. This is the 6th such occurrence in NFL history, joining:
1985 Eagles
1984 Broncos
1978 Broncos
1941 Bears
1939 Giants
