Dan reacts to last night’s NFC North Division clash between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers that saw Detroit remain at the top of the NFL standings with the best record in the NFL, and officially clinching a playoff berth. Dan worries that they may shift into cruise control to end the season and then struggle to flip the switch in the playoffs. It’s a pattern we’ve seen repeatedly in sports and it should be a real concern for the Lions.
Dan Patrick: “Sometimes you build up that lead and then you have some meaningless games at the end of the season, which may happen for the Lions, and then we see those teams have a hard time getting it started, turning on the, you know, flipping the switch, and that might happen to the Lions again. I think the Eagles, right now, are better than the Lions.”
