NFL GDT: Week 15: Throw Down in Motown OR Keystone Clash

[Troy McClure]

These Lions injuries are insane. Now Montgomery is out for the season as well.... I feel horrible for Lions fans....Philly has no excuse not winning the NFC now imo.

We've seen teams in various sports fire entire training staffs after a bunch of injuries. I wonder if the Lions have something going on with the way they train or prep or recover.

I thought tonight’s games were spread further apart than they are. Like a 7 and an 830. Which would have been better. 8 and 830? What are we doing here?

Detroit was pretty healthy throughout last season. But what they are experiencing now is literally unheard of.

Testing the limits of people who when given the choice between the Raiders and literally any other football still choose the Raiders.

The NFL is saying you from yourself. Now there is little risk of your having to watch both Bears football and Raiders football on the same day.

It's not a true double header where you have EST game and a PST time game both starting at 8pm local time. It was a while ago where it was Mike Greenberg, Mike Golic, and Mike Ditka in the booth for a true double header.

Last couple of seasons, ABC/ESPN has aired the 2 games within about an hour start from each other.

Ridder getting the start tonight with an undrafted rookie who hasn't yet even suited up for a game (as best I can tell) as his backup.
