love that Dan Campbell isn’t stupid. He’s not going to risk going for it when he only needs 3 points. But he’s just crazy enough where the other team believes he’d actually do it.
No other NFL team would get that reaction from a defense in that situation.

- Speaking of Anzalone, they showed it on the broadcast but check out his nasty scar from surgery yet gritty caption:

Awesome scene at Ford Field as they play the master @Eminem ‘s Lose Yourself in the dark with the light-up bracelets and then go right to the man himself in the video board

- The Ford Field experience summarized by an outsider is cracking me up. FORWARD DOWN THE FIEEEELDDD!
The Ford Field experience is wild. One break they introduce Calvin Johnson. The next, Barry Sanders. They play an Eminem song and show Eminem in a suite. Deafening reactions. They play Circle of Life and everyone holds their babies over their heads. They have the cringiest…

- Baldy’s breaking it down. Absolutely stealing the phrase “blinding speed” to use whenever referring to these two.
.@Vikings @lions @bigsgjamo @Jahmyr_Gibbs1 the blinding speed of these 2 are difference makers to go with an excellent OL and a tough and accurate QB. A couple of reasons why the #OnePride rises to 15-2 #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/SHzLSJVL8y
