Episode notes

The Detroit Lions survived Week 1 but it wasn't pretty. Detroit built a 21-0 lead over the New Orleans Saints, watched it nearly evaporate as Tyler Shough threw for 410 yards and led a furious comeback to tie the game in the final minute, and then escaped 31-30 in overtime when Shough's two-point conversion fell incomplete. Jahmyr Gibbs ran for three touchdowns, Jared Goff found Amon-Ra St. Brown twice including the overtime winner, but the Lions allowed way too much through the air. Tyler goes solo this week breaking down every key moment from the Saints thriller and then turns his attention to Week 2 — Thursday Night Football in Buffalo against Josh Allen and the Bills at their brand new Highmark Stadium. Bills are favored by 4.5, total sits at 53.5, and every analyst thinks it's going to be a shootout. Plus as always — Grit of the Week.
