Sports Director Fox2 Detroit, Lions Radio PxP. This is for fun. I don't take my twitter too seriously, nor should u. Opinions may change in 10 minutes.
What a day. Not done yet. But you can’t get there without being right here. For all of you that rocked these stadiums on the road and took the roof off Ford Field. For all the tough times. Enjoy this. You own this too. So proud of this team. So happy for you 💙💙💙
Love that I am seeing people quickly move on from “Matthew coming back.” Let’s get this storyline right. Jared Goff is OUR guy. He has a story too. The only thing any
@Lions
fan should be looking at is our guy and this team beating the Rams. No emotion. No ill will. No confusion.
Matthew did what we’ve seen him do many times, only this time he did it under the brightest lights. They had studs on defense to close the the deal. Team win. Champions. Matthew has battled. He’s done things the right way. He’s got his ring. Well done 9.
For all the times that the Lions have been on wrong end of these things.
(Dallas, Seattle, Calvin.....) I can't remember the outrage coming from outside Detroit at the incredible rate it has since last night.
Man, now I know why I need a drink and a nap after every game. The
@Lions
video content team is insane good. Also love this because you see my stat guy Mike Bratta and spotter Joe Abramson. Along w/producer/engineer Al Rosenberg they're the best in the biz. They complete me!
Amazing. This had to happen. For the organization to take that next step. And imo for Jared. This was a moment he had to have. There’s business and there’s personal and there’s both. Closure. Peace.
And.
Not.
Done.
Yet.

There's no words that fit right now. I'm thankful for the times we shared. I'm heartbroken that there won't be any more. Rest in Peace my friend. Bless your family. We will wrap our arms around them.
Just spoke to Dan Campbell. They felt like Arnold was the best cornerback in the draft and that was the urgency to move up to get him. Love his coverage skills and tackling ability. Full interview on our special at 1130 on

@Lions
Whatever you think about him as a coach, (and I'd say the reviews are very strong) Dan Campbell is a good man. His players see that every day and you can see it right here.
My peeps. Please hang in your seats at halftime if you are coming to the
@Lions
game. Lomas will have his ceremony as he is inducted into the Pride of the Lions. He deserves to feel the earth shake. 💙💙
The Zeitler signing means the Lions could go play a game now. They've got the guards & upgraded the defense off last season. No glaring holes left on depth chart but a number places they can still improve. Plenty of veteran FA left and draft upcoming. They're in a good spot.
The NFL fined

athletic trainer, who was trying to attend to an injured player last Sunday night. Walker was also flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and ejected.
Rewatching some of the game. This 3rd down throw by Stafford was ridiculous and huge. Blitz all over him but if he doesn't complete the pass they're giving it right back only leading by 3. Drive ended with td to Marvin. Big.
lol. Felt like the right way to end

#Fox2
Lions have now lost their left tackle. Pro Bowl center. 2 best pass rushers. Best wide receiver. Guy who should be their best corner and his backup. This was going to be tough from the beginning and it’s getting a lot tougher with these injuries.
Subtle thing (nothing was subtle) on this block is he sends Davis into Winfield which slowed 31 down a beat or he probably has a good angle in Amon Ra. Reynolds took two players out of this.
My man. I’m blessed with the best seat in the house. Thanks, Kid. Appreciate the nod. EVERYBODY deserves this and more. While I’m here, you guys should be reading Burchie’s stuff. Give a follow. He’s talented and killing it.
A lot of people are deserving of this run, including this guy.
@DanMillerFox2
has been the voice of desperation and despair — and now maybe of destiny.
A hopeful voice, always. A victorious voice at last.
This is a celebration of what this team has become. Pure and simple. They’ve drafted and they’ve developed. GREAT players getting big money. That’s the way it is supposed to work. Beautiful.
I could do an hour on Stafford. (and will) I'm incredibly honored to have called his games. Won't do the "how good was Matthew" thing. You know where I stand. Appreciate him being a tremendous pro on the field and off and wish him nothing but success.
Next chapter time for all.
This is beautiful
Well done Matthew.
Well done by everybody that spent hours locked in a studio editing this in the

You all captured it perfectly.

OC Ben Johnson and DC Aaron Glenn for their head coaching job, per sources.
Clearly a lot of story lines. Couple takeaways. They have 5 sacks against any other qb tonight. Lions pass rush is going to be nice. Goff made some great throws when he had to. Montgomery and the big guys iced this one. The Lions have so many good young players it’s exciting
Incredible ride for Goff. Didn’t get much respect outside the building when he arrived. Dismissed him as a “bridge” qb. Instead, he’s been one of the leagues best. He and the team battled through tough times to NFC North Title and the NFC Championship gm. He earned this.
Another done deal in Detroit: Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million contract extension that includes $170 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN.
Goff now goes from former No. 1 overall pick to highest-paid Lion in franchise history.
#Lions
offseason so far:
- Signed S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson
- Signed RB David Montgomery
- Signed CB Cameron Sutton
- Signed CB Emmanuel Moseley
- Signed G Graham Glasgow
- Own picks 6, 18, 48 and 55 in the Draft.
Detroit is loading up.
Anything you say about Montgomery will be met with a comparison to Williams. I get it. I'm a big David Montgomery fan though and hated when the Lions had to play against him. Love what Jamaal did for this organization. If this is it, wish him the absolute best.
BREAKING: Lions radio play by play announcer Dan Miller not present in Allen Park this afternoon, flightlogs show a private plane enroute to Tuscaloosa that lifted off from Ypsilanti Willow Run Airport this morning. Miller has been connected to Alabama for the past few days.

calling his final game at The Big House. What an incredible career. He’s done it right. Leading with class, respect and kindness. Love ya, brother. Take every moment in and kick some ass.
Serious question. And look, we will see how this works out. But when was the last time the Lions made a trade that seemed like the exact deal they needed for the right price and you said "Oh, &%$ yeah"? Cuz that's where I am with this one.
I think it’s about time to call it a night but 3 things first. 1)Proud of this team for figuring it out again and getting to 6-2. Win and get better ☑️. 2)You guys are amazing. Ford Field is a weapon 💙💙 3)Love to my guy

This is such a great point.
@MrJackFox
was incredible today and has been all year. Dan Campbell told me this week he was “one of the most clutch players I’ve ever been around.”
Shoutout to Jack Fox, who helped the Lions survive that scoreless second half and gave the defense a boost.
Fox punted five times, pinning four inside the 20-yard line with one touchback. He pinned punts at the 2-, 12-, 9- and 7-yard lines.
In his first game back from the torn left ACL he suffered in Week 5 last year, Lions’ CB Emmanuel Moseley tore his right ACL in Week 5 this year vs. the Panthers, per source. Awful.
Sources:
#Lions
Pro Bowl and All-Pro center Frank Ragnow suffered a partially torn pec, making him week-to-week. A brutal reality for one of the NFL’s toughest players, who injured it very early in the game. But the belief is it’s not season-ending and he could be back soon.
Referee Brad Allen and his crew — who last worked Saturday night’s Lions-Cowboys game — have been assigned to Saturday’s Steelers-Ravens game on ESPN. So back on national television.
