About this listen

In this week’s episode of Secondhand Lions, longtime Detroit fans John Drennan and Bill Radford break down the Lions’ frustrating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles—one defined by brutal winds, stalled drives, and Dan Campbell’s now-infamous 0-for-5 fourth-down decisions.

The guys dig into:

  • Why field position should have been the Lions’ strategy
  • Jared Goff’s worst outing in years and the passing issues
  • Jamo’s costly penalty and special teams misfires
  • Key stats that make the loss even more maddening
  • Defensive highlights that kept Detroit in the game
  • What Campbell said in the press conference—and why it raised eyebrows
  • The playoff implications heading into three straight home games
  • A full preview of the must-win matchup vs. the New York Giants
  • NFC North standings shakeups, the surprising Bears record, and Packers struggles

John and Bill also discuss returning defensive players, questionable officiating on the final Eagles drive, and why this bounce-back game at Ford Field could redefine the Lions’ season.

Whether you’re a die-hard Lions fan or tracking the NFC playoff race, this is your deep-dive, stats-driven, no-nonsense breakdown of Detroit’s toughest loss of the season.
