Lions win over the Texans: What they're saying about Detroit's epic comeback

[DSF]

Facing a 16-point halftime deficit on the road against a team that almost certainly will win its division (again), the Detroit Lions overcame. With no run game in the first half, with quarterback Jared Goff throwing five INTs in the first 10 drives, with several key players out of the lineup with injuries, it looked bleak for the Lions.

Didn’t matter. None of it could hold back the grit of Dan Campbell’s team. The Lions rallied around a heroic defensive effort, improved play from Goff and two clutch field goals from Jake Bates to turn a 23-7 humiliation in the first half into a 26-23 triumph that will have Detroit fans buzzing for days.

Here’s a sampling of the social media reaction to the Lions’ epic win, starting with safety Kerby Joseph,

Dam I love this team!!!

Won the game. Lost the MVP. But I’m sure Jared Goff will be okay with a Super Bowl ring. For him to make that many mistakes and they still win the game, means the Detroit Lions have everything they need to win the Super Bowl. TOTAL TEAM in all phases. x.com

This was a common theme from fans, and also the wife of offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler,
