You knew this week’s version of “Calls of the Game” was going to be special. The Detroit Lions’ win over the Minnesota Vikings was no normal win. It was a win over a divisional opponent. It was a win over a 10-win team. It was a win in front of 66,000 rabid Lions fans, and it was a win that kept the Lions’ playoff hopes (realistically) alive.
But even more than that, it was an incredibly entertaining game to watch. The Lions had several explosive plays on offense, a big turnover on defense, four sacks, and a couple of trick plays that kept the crowd going crazy for all four quarters.
