The anticipation for this Lions season was really unmatched by
any Lion season anticipation.
For generations, this Lions group has matched all of that
by winning the First Division crown in 30 years.
This match up with the Cowboys between two teams headed
for the postseason,
Dan Campbell said you couldn't write a better script and
the timing of this game in Week 17,
he says, is perfect.
Late in the year, you know,
you get teams. I mean Minnesota,
Denver, those teams are are playoff bound potentially and Dallas
obviously as well.
You get teams like that you can kind of,
you know, stack up with and then and see where
you're at.
And these are the fun ones,
man. Late in the year,
another good team at their place can't draw it up
much better.
It'll be fun. It'll be a good atmosphere.
They'll be ready to go.
We'll be ready to go.
It'll be a good game.
There's going to be nothing easy about going into Dallas
to play these guys.
There'll be ebbs and flows of the game it it'll
be,
this will be another one that's gonna come down to
the end of the game.
It'll come down to the wire.
But as long as we're emotionally,
psychologically ready, which I believe we will be.
We'll have a good chance.
The Cowboys have been stellar at home,
unbeaten so far, seven and oh inside that building behind
me here.
But the Lions last week suffocated Minnesota.
Time of possession battle 38 minutes to just 21 minutes.
The Lions rushing attack has two featured backs,
Jamir Gibbs and David Montgomery.
They're trying to become just the eighth pair in NFL
history to each rush for 1000 yards in the same
season.
It's going to be a key battle to watch tonight.
Time of possession and who can control the ball at
a building where the Cowboys have been unbeatable this season.
We're looking forward to provide some live coverage all morning
long with you,
Whitney. For now, send it back to you at the
studio.
All right, Brad. Thank you.
We'll check back with you in the next half hour.
