“Things Are Different in Detroit” – Barry Sanders Lauds Detroit Lions’ Transformation as They Go 3-1 After Dominating the Packers, Eye Playoffs Berth Post a Six Season Drought

The Detroit Lions are unstoppable. After their dominant win against the Green Bay Packers this Thursday night, fans around the world feel that the old-school NFC Lions are back in the game. And this is not just the fans saying this, it is coming right from the GOAT of old-school NFC player Barry Sanders.

Sanders applauded the team’s victory through his social media page. The Thursday night win for the Lions is a substantial milestone on their side, as it is their first win in the past 6 years. And the first win against the once-NFC division champions Green Bay Packers in quite some years. The win made the Lions the number 1 ranking team in the NFC division. Thus, the team is rightfully worthy of a legend like Barry Sanders posting about them.

Barry Sanders takes pride in the Lions’ victory

The Pro Hall of Famer Sanders took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to share his former team’s first win in the past 6 years. He shared a picture of David Montgomery’s touchdown with the scores from the first half with the caption, “I think @NFL fans are starting to see why things are different in #Detroit.” The team has been perfecting its flaws over the years and is seemingly reaping its fruits this season. Albeit, as per many fans, it is not the same as it was since Sanders used to play for Detroit.

Not only was Sanders one of the finest players of his time, he ran for 15,269 yards in his career. Thus, praise coming right from the all-time GOAT of the Lions is an achievement in itself for the Lions. This was the comeback that the Lions needed for the past six years, and here’s what they did differently.

How the Barry Sanders’ ex-team the Lions get their first win in years?

As compared to last year, Detroit made a lot of modifications, good ones, this year. Starting off strong, they have made their offenses pretty strong. Although many important players are injured from the Lions team, the present players did an excellent job themselves. And the team has found the key to their running game combinations, which have done miracles for them. Star players of the Lions like David Montgomery are just some examples.

But the flaw that Detroit Lions have constantly addressed throughout the years is turning out to be overwhelming for their rival teams. It’s their defense liners. The improvement in the defenses of the Lions throughout the years is almost unimaginable. And this fact has particularly helped them in taking the upper hand this year. With all these improvements, and hopefully more coming along the way, the Lions are eyeing out the playoffs this season. Do you think it will be the Lions who will reach the Super Bowl this season?
