We’ll soon see if Dan was able to use the bye week to come out like leaders. Win on the road and confidence grows.

Lost a TD on an illegal low block where it appeared he barely touched him.. I guess the attempt itself was enough for the flag. Nice little drive though.

Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs!

I can't watch this one live. Is the oline dominating, or is Gibbs making magic out of nothing?

Bit of both it seems to me. O-line is creating holes, but Gibbs is taking it above and beyond. We’ll see if they trade off with Montgomery and how the team moves down the field.

Gibbs earned being called to take it in from one yard out. And it looked really easy.

 

[VulturesRule]

And now the D steps up - interception!

 

[VulturesRule]

Having difficulties converting on third down - so Dan Campbell has them going for it on fourth down - and the Offense is keeping the grind going. Eating clock, still in possession of the football at the end of the first quarter.

If this keeps up, it’s going to be a dominating victory.

 

[VulturesRule]

Finally stopped - but it’s on the two yard line. Time for the Defense to keep up the aggressive posture the Lions have taken with the Offense.

Seems like Gibbs drives score, montegomery drives stall

Sorta both. The OL is dominating and Gibbs is doing his thing... should be up by much more.

Gibbs has had exactly 2 good games before today. And one of those he only started putting up stats in garbage time once we were down by 300 points.

I'm glad he looks promising, but right now I'm not even 100% sure he's better than Swift was. Hopefully more durable. But they keep comparing him to Barry. Let's just chill with that for a bit.

The internet just says 75 yard penalty, but under review. What is happening?

Seventy five yard run by Montgomery for a TD - it was reviewed and upheld.

 

[VulturesRule]

Great work by the line to open it and Jameson to block down field.

 

[Wazmankg]

Double Allen somehow. He's literally their only threat.

 

[VulturesRule]

Game is closer than it should be. Still, in the driver‘s seat. We’ll see what the halftime adjustments bring to the Lions Defense.

 

[VulturesRule]

Lions respond to the Charger score by marching down and getting their own. As they line up to attempt the PAT, you can hear over the broadcast fans cheering “Let’s go Lions!” over and over. Wonderful.

 

[Mebert]

Do yje Chargers have yards that are not penalties on this drive?

 

[phantomfoul88]

Nah, we’re good. We didn’t need a pass rusher at the trade deadline

 

[Edonidd]

Somebody pointed out recently that Aidan Hutchinson rushes the QB like WaLuigi and I can't not see it now.
