The football world yet again takes notice of another exciting Lions win.
The Detroit Lions toppleD the undefeated Minnesota Vikings on their home turf to take their rightful spot atop the NFC North.
After mounting a heroic comeback to the tune of 21 unanswered points, the Lions were victorious 31-29. Here are some of the best reactions from around the internets:
Jared Goff played a poor Super Bowl, got dumped by McVay, sent to football Siberia.
Then watched Stafford immediately win a ring with his old team.
He’s now playing the best ball in the league, for one of its best teams, and is one of most respected players in the NFL
Amazing

And Jared Goff continues to make his case for MVP with a late field goal drive at undefeated Minnesota as Lions score 31 on the NFL’s best defense. Lions fell behind 10-0 and I thought it was over. But Dan Campbell’s team JUST KEPT FIGHTING.

Jared Goff putting up yet another great performance vs a Brian Flores defense that’s stymied the rest of the NFL is so, so impressive

I’ll say it again…
Tim Patrick was such a good signing by Brad Holmes. Such a perfect fit.

And onto the rest of your notes.
- Since this went viral again this week, a throwback to 2022 when Amon-Ra St. Brown did this for a Lions fan (you can read our full story on this here.)
WHOLESOME: When #Lions star Amon Ra St. Brown went over to a young fan who was then recently diagnosed with cancer, and gave him some inspiration.
“You got it… nothing can stop you.”
You could see how much it meant to the kid. So special ❤️ pic.twitter.com/UEVFzcle5z

- Baldy breaks it on down:
.@Lions @JaredGoff16 to @amonra_stbrown v a Blitz Zero look; and the key was the pass protection to give Goff time to scan the field. #OnePride #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/bnfWKrQcd5

- This came up in my suggested YouTube viewing content—the Paul Farrington Show released an episode called “’I Hate Football’: Lions RIP HEARTS from Vikings, Jared Goff looks UNSTOPPABLE & I am sad.” Wonder why they thought I’d enjoy it.
- “Pressure is usually the QB’s kryptonite, but he didn’t look bothered in the least in Minnesota.” NFL.com’s Kevin Patra with some takeaways on Jared Goff and the big win.
- “It might be time to put Jared Goff in the MVP conversation.” CBS Sports’ John Breech awards the Lions a B+ for their performance in Minneapolis.
- This front yard is AWESOME.
Anybody wanna get a quick game in before kickoff? #OnePride pic.twitter.com/uq5emys1Pp
