ALMOST GOT TRAPPED
By Mark Halpern As I said in the preview, this game was the perfect fit for a trap game, and through the first three quarters, it looked like that would happen. The Lions knew what was at stake, and it seemed like a completely different team on the field facing the less-than-grizzly Bears team. EvenContinue reading “ALMOST GOT TRAPPED”
AN ALL-AROUND EFFORT

The CowboysContinue reading “DON’T UNDERESTIMATE AGAIN”

But people only like to talk about how they’ve only beaten bad teams and struggled against great ones. The Dolphins’ six wins are against the Chargers, Patriots (2x), Broncos, Giants, and Panthers.Continue reading “Erasing The Narrative”
IT’S A TRAP GAME
BY MARK HALPERN Throughout history, we have seen some amazing things happen from last-minute 60+ yard field goals, Hail Mary 65+ yards for a TD and the win, Interception return for a touchdown in the waning seconds, or even just a plain old upset. For the Detroit Lions this weekend, this game should be aContinue reading “IT’S A TRAP GAME”
