Penei Sewell has a strong message for those now doubting the Lions

[DSF]

The Detroit Lions are 12-2 and still in control of their own playoff destiny, both in the NFC North and the entire conference. It can be tough for folks to remember that in the wake of a string of injuries and a very public loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15.

Penei Sewell wants everyone to know that the Lions aren’t going anywhere. The All-Pro right tackle issued a warning to anyone who thinks otherwise.

“That’s why I don’t really concern myself with the talk,” Sewell told MLive’s Korey Woods. “The real ones know we’re gonna find a way at the end of the day. If you want to keep questioning, just go ahead and hop off. You’ll see what happens.”

It’s a pretty stern admonition from Sewell, who has taken on more leadership in his fourth season. It echos the sentiments of defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who earlier chastised the “doom and gloom” some of the fanbase and media have taken toward the Lions after Week 15.
