| 0:00.0 | Lions from the jump pouring it on 50 Burger put up 52 points matched the season high from a year ago. |
| 0:05.8 | Best part? |
| 0:07.7 | Looks like last year's offense. |
| 0:09.6 | Explosive, balanced. |
| 0:11.8 | Ready to pile it on. |
| 0:14.6 | And they did it against Ben Johnson. |
| 0:16.4 | Yeah. |
| 0:17.0 | And it was, I mean, it was supposed to be one of those things where, you know, hey, Ben knows all the strengths and weaknesses of this offense. How are you going to stop it? He's going to be in there with Dennis Allen. Dennis Allen should know what Dan Campbell's going to be running. And it didn't matter. No. And look, they started out with play action and then they worked backwards. They got the ground game going, ran for almost 200 yards, six yards of carry. And it was Montgomery in the end zone. It's Gibbs in the end zone. Jared Gough throws five touchdowns, sacked zero times. I mean, it's everything we needed. Right after a week one loss where everything felt like it went wrong. This was a week where everything went right. And we've asked you guys |

| 1:10.1 | I'd say a couple of my two points here is I think the best part is we looked like our old self. |
| 1:16.0 | Yes, we did what we were supposed to do. |
| 1:18.1 | Next week is obviously a lot different team, a lot different players. |
| 1:21.3 | I think the best part was early in the morning when we were tailgating. |
| 1:26.4 | We had six TV buses rolled down Lafayette |
| 1:29.9 | and Randolph with a good old RIP Charlie Kirk on their sign and I think that was very respectful |
| 1:35.9 | for the city of Detroit and along with all the Bears fans around me. They were all joining in on the |
| 1:41.8 | FB Johnson chain. I thought that was pretty cool. |
| 2:07.4 | The Bears fans were joining in? Yep. I had a bunch of Bears fans around me. And they were from the beginning of the game. They had no confidence. They were saying, oh, we pretty much came here knowing that we were going to lose, yada, yada, yada. They were right. And at the end of the game, I had about six bear fans cheering with me, F.N. Johnson, |
| 2:09.0 | on that Woodward Sports. |
| 2:16.4 | Yeah, I mean, what I would tell you is you get these chants that carried out into the game. |
