You are Locked On Lions, your daily Detroit Lions podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. It's a Thursday crossover Thursday edition of Lockdown Lions.

Folks on the Lockdown Podcast Network, Matt Derry, with you on this, a Thursday,

October the 28th into Friday, October the 29th.

Apologize for the technical issues we had yesterday.

We'll do a bonus show tomorrow to make up for

yesterday and get you ready for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles homecoming weekend

at Ford Field. Lions alumni coming back, ring of honor guys coming back and the honor

Chris Spielman at halftime. We are brought to you by McDonald's, proudly serving community since 1965.

McDonald's has always been more than just a place to get tasty, affordable food.

It's a place where friends and family can come to reconnect.

McDonald's, I'm loving it.

Louis D.Biasey on this crossover Thursday, the host of Locked on Eagles will join me momentarily.

Also on the show today, an injury of significance, but it's off the field for the Lions, and it's an illness.

It's Illness Day today.

We will explain, as it pertains to these special teams, also some numbers on the Lions' offense and DeAndre Swift that might not be the numbers that you want to hear, even though they look good on paper.

We'll get into that coming up momentarily as well.

Remember, follow me on Twitter at D-E-R-Y-Speaks, D-E-R-Y-Y speaks, at Lockdown Lions, and of course on my Facebook

fan page, the Matt Derry Facebook fan page.

Thank you for listening and joining us, Lions at 0 and 7, Eagles Stink at 2 and 5.

I think the Lions have a good chance here.

Spread open from our friends at betonline.ag at 3.5.

It's been bet down to three.
