Lions Win 42-24.

My Offensive MVP: Jared Goff 20/28, 236 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT, and 1 running TD. Dude was just smooth all game long. No St Brown and Gibbs? No problem. Took advantage of the short fields from the defense and turned them into touchdowns instead of field goals.

My Defensive MVP: Aidan Hutchinson, 3 tackles, 1 sack, and an interception. My defensive MVP was going to be Alex Anzalone with 8 tackles and 3 assists, but that roughing the passer penalty was enough for me to flip.

My Villain: The Panthers’ offensive line. They pushed this defensive front around, and kept Brice Young upright WAY more than I thought they would. That’s two years in a row, they have our defensive front’s number for some reason.
