Welcome to the Detroit Football Network Podcast. I'm Justin Rogers joined by Will

Birchfield filling in for Stoney who abandoned us to go do some TV tonight

good for him right I mean anything to pick up a few extra bucks right well

yeah we're not making money here

that's a hint, guys. Let's get this thing sold. Look, I'm in Arizona, Wills at home.

We both watched the same game this afternoon into this evening.

And the Lions did what I think they needed to do, Will. They bounce back. This is a team that one of their many many

identities is resiliency, you know and I think they did it in a pretty

authoritative way you you know,

smacking down the upstart Arizona Cardinals.

Yeah, I mean, it felt like a game

where they got back to their roots offensively

and especially from the start.

I mean, I know we're gonna break this thing down

first that second half, but there was a clear emphasis,

a deliberate intention early in this game to lean on their strength, which is obviously

their offensive line and I would argue David Montgomery.

And they came out of the gates ready to run the ball

to move Arizona on the ground.

And it wasn't always pretty.

I think they're happy to have kind of uglyed their way to a win, but it certainly seemed like

Dan Campbell wanted to remind his players and maybe teach your opponents
