You are Locked-on Lions, your daily Detroit Lions podcast, part of the Locked-on

Podcast Network, your team every day.

And we welcome everybody into the post-game pod, Lions and Broncos today on a Sunday, December 22nd,

into Monday, December 23rd, Lockdown Podcast Network, Matt Derry with you. Denver wins today,

2717. Good news. If you're a Lions fan, if you're a draft fan, let's be honest here.

What would this team winning these games right now

really mean for this team? Absolutely nothing. And today with the loss and a couple of

things going on, including Miami winning, the Lions have indeed moved up into the number three

spot in the draft. Cincinnati today, clinching the number one spot for the April draft, but the Lions have a chance

to be picking second. It's possible if Washington beats Dallas next week and the Lions now at

3, 11 and 1 lose at home to Green Bay. Giants won today, Miami won today. Arizona looks like

they're going to win today as they lead Seattle in the fourth quarter.

But today also on the postgame pod, we'll talk about what we saw as Denver wins, 2717.

Lions held a 10-0 lead in this game in the second quarter and a 17-13 lead in the third quarter of this game.

But again, you know, Lions couldn't protect

David Blow. He was sacked four times. He's not very good as a third string quarterback.

Lions defensive line, we rip the offensive line, the defensive line. Also today couldn't get to the

quarterback as Drew locked through for 192 yards, and a touchdown was not

sacked once today, had a pass rating of 99.6. Denver's not very good, but they were good

enough today to beat the Lions. Their run game was very good in the second half, led by Philip

Lindsay, who's 27-yard touchdown run on the fourth put the game away,

and the Broncos improved a 6 and 9 with a 27-17 win.
