Detroit Lions Podcast: Vikings review, playoff looks and more

USA Today

The latest episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast is a special one. We’re celebrating the Lions’ crushing victory over the Minnesota Vikings to clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC postseason, a second straight NFC North title and a bye through to the NFC’s Divisional Round.

This episode is a solo show, recorded on Monday in the aftermath of Sunday’s prime-time win. Among the game topics covered:

  • Aaron Glenn’s master class in coaching
  • Amik Robertson showing why we loved his signing last offseason
  • Alex Anzalone’s triumphant return and how it helped AG
  • Jahmyr Gibbs setting records
  • Ben Johnson adapting and adjusting to a terrible 1st half
  • Special teams mattered a lot, and the Lions dominated them

Who do we expect to see in the postseason after this coming Wild Card weekend? Who do we want to see the Lions play?

There’s also the issue of Johnson and Glenn being prime head coaching candidates for other teams. I dove some into why it’s not likely to be some team-crushing losses if one (or both) do get hired away elsewhere.

As always, the audio-only version of the show is available from your favorite podcast provider.
