Michigan Football Team Detroit Lions Enjoyed First Half Lead
, Kid Rock Entertains HalftimeDETROIT, M.I. Michigan football fans enjoyed the first half of the Thanksgiving game against the New England Patriots as the Detroit Lions took the lead by a touchdown. It was a fight for the lead for the first half, but the Patriots could not find time or space to fight back the Detroit Lions.
The Lions used their running game to their advantage and unbalanced the Patriots' defense, which led to their success for the first part of the game. The defensive line on the Lions' side was more energetic and held the Patriots' first-half scoring in check. The Lions were happy to get its sack on the New England Quarterback, Tom Brady, in the first half. Had Brady had any time to make a pass, the Patriots may have been able to take the lead; but the Lions pushed hard to keep the Patriots locked where they were.
"We got after him, got him a little rattled," defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh said in a press interview.
There were great plays made by the Lions quarterback, Shaun Hill who sustained a fractured right shoulder injury during the Jets game a couple weeks prior, as nine different Lions receivers caught the ball during the game one resulting in a touchdown. The pressure was intense from the Lions as the first half ended, which was followed by Kid Rock during halftime as Ford Field rocked along with the Lions' halfway victory.
Unfortunately, Michigan football fans only had the first half and halftime celebration to enjoy the game, because once Brady and the Patriots regrouped for the second half, the tables turned quickly.
In the final two quarters, the Lions managed one more touchdown as they tied the Patriots 24-24 in the third quarter after the Patriots pounded out two touchdowns immediately after halftime. But the Lions couldn't hold the Patriots to 24. Brady was back with vengeance and nailed three more touchdowns in the final 21 minutes of the game to bring the final to 45-24.
The Lions came into the game with fire and strength, but it just goes to show what a little bit of pressure can do to a veteran quarterback like Brady as he quickly took that energy and turned it around.
The next game for the Lions is versus the Chicago Bears on December 5, 1:00pm.
