What a catch, and what a comeback.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
Ballgame.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
Great comeback!
September 25th, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
Amazing catch!! Amazing comeback!! ahhh go Lions!
September 25th, 2011 at 4:28 PM ^
BEST WIDE RECEIVER ON PLANET EARTH BAR NONE! THERE IS NO ARGUMENT, AMERICA!!!
September 25th, 2011 at 4:28 PM ^
Hansen kicks game-winning FG on 1st down. Now that is confidence in your kicker!
September 25th, 2011 at 4:31 PM ^
got through the left upright, scared me.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:29 PM ^
Calvin Johnson is an absolute freak of nature. Then again, so is Jason Hanson.
September 25th, 2011 at 6:21 PM ^
I never thought eating crow would taste so good!
September 25th, 2011 at 4:31 PM ^
The Vikings are cursed. Also a nice win for the Lions after a very bad start. The tackle situation is mildly terrifying.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:35 PM ^
They need to put Gosder Cherilus back in at RT. I think he gets the point by now. As for Backus, time to retire and the Lions to trade up and draft a GOOD left tackle prospect to start next year.
James Martin of Stanford would do.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
Cherilus was getting owned by the other end too. The Lions offensive tackles are the weakness of the team (also kick/punt coverage, looks like). None of them are good enough to play in this league anymore. Something they need to try to address, but trading that far up (hopefully/looking at the schedule) is dangerous at best.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:33 PM ^
Looks like we are going to have to watch the Lions also. They look special! Mayhew is a very good GM. A little better than the last guy.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:37 PM ^
Hanson kicked that dead straight from the left hash and knew it was good immediately. Damn that's confidence.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
Chiming in to congratulate Lions on successful win over NFC NOrth opponent
Good comeback
September 25th, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
That second half was like Robo-Henne.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
by the Lions. That was fun to watch.
I have no problem eating some crow....
But damn....that would have been a crusher to lose after what Backus did.
September 25th, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo that was awesome. GO LIONS!
September 25th, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
Chris Carter... Calvin says, "F*** You!" It was nice to rip the heart out of the Vikings for a change.
September 25th, 2011 at 5:02 PM ^
Jim Schwartz has the best winning expressions.
September 25th, 2011 at 5:10 PM ^
I thought they changed the OT rules so that if the first team with the ball scored only a fieldgoal, the other team would then get one possession. Was that proposed but not implemented, or what's the deal? Apparently I'm not the only one who's confused...
...and Hanson calmly drilled the field goal for the winning score. There was a little confusion after the kick, with officials blowing their whistles and holding off the celebration. But this was a long time coming for the Lions, and coach Jim Schwartz could be heard over the referee's microphone yelling "Learn the (expletive) rules!" as he jogged toward his handshake with the Vikings' Leslie Frazier.I'm trying Coach! I'm trying!
September 25th, 2011 at 5:22 PM ^
Only in the playoffs.
September 25th, 2011 at 5:47 PM ^
I thought that's what i heard. I'm sure the NFL will fine him. They get embarrassed about anything the least bit unfamily friendly.
Now I know why he said it.
September 25th, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
Good for Schwartz. Minnesota was getting away with obvious penalties all game long.
September 25th, 2011 at 5:34 PM ^
So how many 2 TD games in a row for Megatron before it's just common knowledge that he's the best WR in the League? Stafford to Johnson has got to be the hottest combo going right now.
September 25th, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
Both are carrying my fantasy team... Well Lesean McCoy and Gronkowski don't hurt my team either..
September 25th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
Where you at now, buddy?
September 25th, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
Titus Young should change his name to Calvin Johnson Jr.
September 25th, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^

September 26th, 2011 at 11:13 AM ^
I like this. Approved.
September 25th, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^
Kinda look stupid now.
<br>
<br>You know who you are.
September 25th, 2011 at 7:04 PM ^
"MOOOOTHEEEER FUUCKEEEEER!"
I'm actually not sure what he said, but that would be awesome.
September 25th, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
I believe he said "BYAH!"
September 25th, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
....or "ROLLIN' LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN, FLYIN' LIKE AN AEROPLANE"
September 25th, 2011 at 6:22 PM ^
As a Lions fan, thank you Vikings for ignoring AP in the 2nd half. He beat up on us pretty good early on. Good win for the Lions. Now, let's go an beat "America's team" next week in Dallas!
September 25th, 2011 at 7:14 PM ^
I turned the game off at the half. What was the final? 50-0?
September 25th, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
Then you missed the Lions comeback and win.
September 25th, 2011 at 8:21 PM ^
What was the penalty on the punt return at the end? Did that ever get cleared up?
September 25th, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
anyone know if there is a replay scheduled on the NFL network?
I looked through their broadcast schedule but I couldn't find anything during the week that would suggest they re-air entire games, which is a bummer. Would have loved to have recorded that game.
September 25th, 2011 at 8:55 PM ^
I take credit for the win. I live on the left coast and never get to see the lions play. I'm visiting michigan right now. I turned it on at halftime, and clearly gave them the inspiration to win.
September 25th, 2011 at 10:24 PM ^
Anyone have a torrent for the game. I was flying back from the UM game all day.
September 25th, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
Go Big Ten (Curtis Painter)!
Have we been spoiled or what? Some great games today! Buffalo - New England, Detroit - Minnestoa, amongst others, and now Pitt - Indy.
OT EDIT: Is anyone watching the Yanks - Sox game? Epic.
September 26th, 2011 at 9:09 AM ^
yea best game ever
