Good on the Lions powering through even after being eliminated. Through the bluster, Campbell has the players believing and it feels like this franchise is going in the right direction.
Turning it around after starting out 1-6 is damn impressive.

You can’t shove the trainer. But does anyone else find it crazy that a slight shove and New York intervenes but a deliberate attempt to decapitate a guy in a league that supposedly cares about concussions, which is clear on replay, and it’s just no biggie?

Walker looked legit angry/disappointed with himself in the tunnel. As he should be, but I think he just lost his cool and knows he fucked up.

I don't recall the play, but apparently this was his other ejection (this year!) they referenced. Dude needs to chill.

Is Swift okay, like did they say anything? That looked bad before the forearm to his face.
They didn't say anything to follow up, but on appearances with how he fell it appears the lead hand going to the ground was a little splayed like a more minor fencing response than we saw with Tua. So it seems like the head injury controlled there.

At first I thought the decapitation attempt was what the league office was calling in. To pretend that didn't happen is amazing. I better hear of a sizable fine of that guy this week.

the Lions deserve the playoffs out of any of these three teams (sentimentally). man.

SEA-SF would be a bore of a playoff game

Rodgers burns those blitzes sometimes but that was so well timed. Waited all game for that, and they got him.

Quay Walker is a guy I'd bet doesn't last long in the league. He was highly drafted, hasn't played well, and has been ejected TWICE for pushing opposing staff members. That's a lack of self-control that indicates to me emotional issues, and those guys usually crash out of the league quick. Only guy I can think of in that mold that made it long term was Antonio Brown and he:
1. Started off less unstable and ramped up.
2. Was an elite talent.

Refs getting to work on behalf of the Packers.

Never mind - obvious penalty.
