That penalty doesn't really help the Lions as much as people think. The clock was stopped and yeah Goff took a sack but it went from 1st down to 1st down with a stopped clock
So the thought process is this: You are playing to win the game. So in that case you need 15 points. If you score and kick the XP then it comes down to the 2pter. If you go for the 2pter on the first try and miss it you still get one more chance to tie it.
Bucs had plenty of chances and screwed up. Missed FG, dropped interception that gave the Lions 3. Mike Evans dropping that pass that led to the pick and not blocking Hutchinson.
I mean; everyone saw what happened with Ray Lewis when he said it was his last year. Kelce (both of them) could easily join one of the networks as an analyst but it's clear his #1 priority is locking down T Swift
They actually match up very well with the Lions. It's the 49ers and Cowboys they don't match up well with.
Pretty much the Lions want to run and use Play Action. Bucs defense is great against the run so PA isn't as effective against them and then the Lions defense is okay but nothing special. Baker won't have time if he plays the Niners next week
Baker has always been a good, not elite, QB. That Bucs team is absolutely loaded on Offense. I also think if the Browns had Cooper when Baker was there it would have been very beneficial to him
Based on matchups I thought the Rams and PAckers were the only NFC teams that could knock out the 49ers. I think the AFC winner will win the Superbowl though. The Ravens, Chiefs and Bills are all better than the 49ers imo
