Me too. That was a nice call (for a change). Right ahead of the 2 minute warning, it seemed very certain that we would run it to continue running out the clock. Nice deception.

Glad we got that W.

I felt like we were the superior team throughout, just had horrible execution at the goal line twice. It should have been a blow out.

Anyone hear what Trae Waynes' injury was?

An ugly win counts just as much as a beautiful one... just doesn't feel quite right. The team has to figure out the goal line stuff and how to adjust the running game to avoid exposing the team's weaknesses.

Can we technically still take the division even though the Lions won today?

Yes. Vikings would have to win out and Lions would have to lose out.

Let's run the numbers. Lions 9-4. Vikings 7-6. Three games remaining for each.

So if the Vikings win out, and the Lions lose out, yes ... we would win the division.

If the Lions and Vikings tie, the Lions get the tiebreaker because they beat us twice.

If the Lions lose out and the Packers run the table, the Packers win the division (because they play us in Week 16).
