What a bullshit call! The pass was behind the receiver!

This must have been the defensive PI...

I agree. As I'm typing this the Lions have tied the game and the XP is pending!

Great win for the Lions! The hype train has left the building! Enjoy it until Baker Mayfield knocks you off in the NFC Championship.

The hype train doesn’t brake for Baker Mayfield’s…

Defense was fantastic. Campbell's call on the fake punt showed balls of a gorilla. Gibbs is gonna be fantastic. Hutchinson was fucking everywhere.

GO LIONS!!

Go 7-1 and beat Seattle and Baltimore on the road, then I will buy in. KC did not have Kelce. Everyone needs to calm down.

If KC needs one guy that badly then they are rather one dimensional... doubly so if the Lions go 1-7 the next 8 games. KC is very good but I wasn't blown away by them and part of that is a credit to the Lions defense.

Listen to Debbie Downer here....

The Super Bowl Champs had a touchdown lead at halftime, getting the 2nd half kickoff, at home, and the Lions beat em.

Don't be such a stick in the mud. They still have Mahomes. And were at home. And were favored by 4. And the Lions, just like the 2nd half of last year, made the plays that mattered late. Prior to late last year, they failed miserably at making big plays late for decades. This is probably their biggest regular season victory (ie, most important) in at least 20 years.

The play that sticks out like a sore thumb to me was late 3rd quarter when KC was up 3 and Mahomes took off running on first down only to start his slide a yard shy of the first down, making it 2nd and 1, and the Lions defense subsequently holding them to a field goal. At the time, I thought it was a mistake for KC to kick the FG. There's nothing I hate more than kicking a FG when up 3 to then go up 6.

Great win for sure! I'm proud of what the Lions accomplished tonight. Defensive performance in the second half was superb. Gotta give the offense kudos for that final drive, too.

Not gonna lie - when the Lions committed the turnover deep in Chiefs territory early in the game, I thought "here we go again... that'll haunt them and we'll wind up losing by a TD or less."

Very happy to say I was wrong.

I agree with bmw that KC made a major mistake settling for a field goal when already up 3 given the very short yardage needed to move the chains.
