The Lions continue to find ways to show they’re a playoff threat. But now, one former NFL quarterback thinks they can go all the way.
The Detroit Lions returned to action Sunday on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers and won a 41-38 shootout on a last-second field goal by Riley Patterson.
Tony Romo saw enough to state the Lions are built to play in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024.
“Detroit is showing you that they’re here to stay,” Romo said after Detroit’s last-second 41-38 win off a final walk-off field goal. “This is a formidable team who can win a Super Bowl.”
Jim Nantz further added, “By the way, don’t count them out from being a one seed either.”
