It is a new year.

Your Detroit Lions are technically undefeated in 2026.

So whatever happened in 2025 doesn't really matter.

We can actually kind of forget that that entire, you know, part of the year ever existed.

Not really because we actually are going to have to talk about, you know, what happened this season and the lion's most recent victory over the Chicago Bears. I'm your host, Miko. And we are officially back from a little bit of a break to be able to talk about the lion's most recent win. The lions are back to their winning ways. I'm back to my diet, which is kind of nice with the new year starting and back to like, you know, being a little bit healthier. But with that said, we are going to talk a lot about the Lions most recent one over the Chicago Bears and reflect on the season as well as look ahead to some of the things that the Lions have going on now that the season has officially wrapped up. But before we jump into all of those things, first and foremost, let me introduce my amazing co-host. First and foremost, we have your senior editor over at Prided Detroit.com. Ryan Matthews at Ryan underscore POD. Ryan, how are you feeling, my man? I'm feeling good. I thought you were already kicking it to the righteous felon read when you were talking about your new diet. And I was like, oh, sweet, that was a quick first segment. I blinked and it was gone.

Nope.

I got to know because like,

unlike most people,

I decided to take like that winter break off and decided to just eat whatever I wanted. Like, I felt like I deserved that. Good for you, me. Yeah. And also joining us today, we have your editor-in-chief over at pride of detroit.com Jeremy Reisman at Detroit

online over there on Twitter.

Jeremy, how are we feeling my guy? Good. You've now made me feel guilty about my post-podcast plans

of going to Taco Bell, though. Don't worry. I have also post-podcast plans of ordering peach

cobbler rolls that are at Arbys. So we can all make terrible decisions today. That's part of your

diet? Dang. Hey, listen, I was going to say, when you, when you structure your things the right way, guys, you can still enjoy, you know, a nice treat here and there. And I think that's a great way to celebrate a victory Monday. And that's exactly what I'm going to do because the Lions did get, I don't know how we're going to describe this, a must-needed win.

I needed it for my own morale, but the Lions did get a win over the Chicago Bears yesterday.

Finishing the season 9 and 8 on the season in a 19 to 16 win over the Chicago Bears.

There's a number of things to talk about from this game, but I guess I want to just start right here with you, Jeremy.

What is some of the things that you really kind of took away from this win in the first place?

Well, I mean, it was a return to form in a lot of ways.

You know, they ran the football.
