**SNF in NRG Stadium Lions at Texans** (+3.5, 49.0) (1 Viewer)

[travdogg]

I'll say Lions win 27-24.

Close enough...I'd feel fine if I were a Texans fan. Still have a huge division lead and didn't have 2 of your 3 best players tonight.

Bates was born about 40 miles north of NRG Stadium

nice moment for him

that's the 11th biggest comeback in Detroit Lions history - down 16 at the half - and the biggest comeback in the Dan Campbell/Jared Goff era

Also lost in the drama of that kick....holy crap that leg.

52 yards and it was at the top of the goal post. Could have hit that from 65 at least.

Congrats Detroit fans, pulling for you in the NFC as a fellow long suffering fanbase member (but y'all have a lot more decades on us Texans.) Could blame the Refs for missing that obvious PI as it would have been a fresh set of downs and 10 yards closer but we have only ourselves to blame for the poor offensive showing in the 2nd half that let it get to a tie game.

 

[Major]

This is the most locked in the Texans have been all year and the kind of team I expected to see when the season started. Now just hoping they can turn the corner and carry some of that momentum to the 2nd half after the Lions inevitably make the necessary adjustments.

Same ol Texans. Not sure why I was hopeful they'd change

 

[Jayded]

Thanks refs. Thanks O. Can we please fire Slowik now?

You guys were robbed.

Meh. Detroit earned it and Houston botched the second half like always.

That one play shouldn’t matter when there were 5 turnovers to do something with. Nico can’t get back fast enough, but Ryans needs to eject the offensive staff pronto.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Lions are 8-1 for the first time since 1954

Why wouldn't you use one more play to get another yard or two?

Fumble, penalty.

 

[GregR]

Congrats Lions fans. See ya in the Super Bowl.

 

[Mt. Man]

Man, I went through a couple dozen emotions that game.
Gotta give credit to the Lions. Kept fighting, kept clawing back.
An ugly game in a lot of ways, but I'm not complaining about the W.

Yeah, and distance is rarely a problem with Bates.

Congrats Lions fans. See ya in the Super Bowl.

Entertaining football game as always if you watch the Lions the last couple seasons

 

[Truebluey]

Does Jakey not realize it's the Spirit Mother who is guiding him? Who is he talking about???

 

[Mr.Pack]

Houston was horrible offensive play calling in the second half. Calls were playing not to lose and scared. Just brutal.

Congrats Lions fans. See ya in the Super Bowl.

The Texans and their crap offense will be watching the Super Bowl on TV.

Classic Bobby Slowik.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Crying about a PI call when you got shut out in the 2h despite getting 2 picks (5 total) from your D is good shtick

Texans are lucky to be in that abysmal division, that team has first round playoff loss written all over them. Probably get rolled by Bo Nix and Denver at home or something

 

[Zeppelin]

Guess we'll see what fight the Lions have in the 2nd half.

We saw.

Update?

You wouldn't feel fine with that 2nd half. Abysmal and a problem all season - our offense playing it safe and not making 2nd half adjustments. Losing to a team that committed 5 interceptions is not good.

Yep. I do love Greg's optimism but my dream matchup of Texans v. Lions in LIX is looking worse and worse every day
