Jared Goff and Dan Campbell have a Stern message for people who believe the Lions are a โ€˜domeโ€™ team. See details ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

Many have labelled the Detroit Lions as โ€œa dome teamโ€ who were only dominating the NFL in scoring because they played at Ford Field. And in Week 9, facing their division opponents on a windy, rainy November day on the sloppy grass at Lambeau Field, the Lions were undoubtedly expected to be at a big disadvantage against the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers got the ball first, chewed up eight minutes of clock, and while they didnโ€™t score a touchdown, a field goal was worth the effort in a game that was destined to be low-scoring. The Lions received the ball next and scored the next 24 points, firmly controlling the game, the NFC North, and the whole NFC.

 

โ€œIt was a fun game,โ€ Lions quarterback Jared Goff said in a postgame interview with FOXโ€™s Erin Andrews. โ€œWhenever you participate in these gamesโ€”once a year, you get one like this. In Green Bay, in Lambeau Field. We are meant to be the dome team. We came in here as the squad that couldnโ€™t play outside, and we won.โ€

 

The Lions demonstrated once again why they are the most complete team in the NFL, and they can beat you in any way they want. Whether itโ€™s trading blows in the run game, throwing the ball in a high-scoring shootout, holding a track meet under a dome, or sweating it out in the weather, the Lions are prepared for anything.

 

โ€œIโ€™m not surprised that we came out here and played well despite the elements. โ€œWeโ€™re built for this,โ€ Lions coach Dan Campbell stated during his postgame press conference. โ€œIt doesnโ€™t matter that we play indoors; we can play anyplace. We can play in the snow, rain, and mudโ€”itโ€™s just us.

 

โ€œWe are built to win.โ€ While the Lionsโ€™ dominance in victory may have surprised those who thought they were just a dome team, those of us in Detroit have known for a long time what this squad is capable of. In 2022, on HBOโ€™s Hard Knocks, Campbell dropped this beauty on us:
