CBS Sports: Lions favorite star player send a strong message to the Buffalo Bills ahead of sunday game.
The Detroit Lions will play the Buffalo Bills in a high-profile match on Sunday, November 15. One Detroit Lions player is reacting to the nasty talk that is likely to circulate before to a game like this one.
The source of this nasty talk is a fan. A footballer seldom addresses a fan on social media, but this one couldn’t contain himself.
The cornerback for the Detroit Lions responds
Amik Robertson, a cornerback with the Lions, learned via social media on Thursday, December 13, that Khalil Shakir of the Bills will surpass him in height. The fan also said that they would place a wager on Shakir surpassing his expected scores on each of the game’s statistics.
Robertson then joined the discussion. He responded succinctly but directly to the message, saying, “Goodluck.
Many of the fans who replied to the post supported Robertson. One person wrote, “Tell em.” Another said, “He’s going to need more than luck,” followed by “seatbelt season” and some laughing emojis.
Out of 204 cornerbacks, Robertson has the 21st-highest run defense grade according to PFF, and while under pressure in coverage, he gives up a 91.9 passer rating.
Buffalo Bills Coaches Talk About Their Matchup With the Detroit Lions
The Bills coaching staff is being cordial ahead of the Lions vs. Bills game. They have generally shown admiration for the Lions and what Detroit has created in their interviews with the media this week. How were they unable to? One of the NFL’s hottest teams, the Lions are 11-1. However, it’s good to watch an opponent approach this type of game with respect.
The Lions boast a fantastic running back tandem in David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, who are perhaps the greatest in the NFL. Gibbs has two receiving touchdowns this season, and they have 24 total touchdowns.
Bobby Babich, the defensive coordinator for the Bills, told reporters that it boils down to the fundamentals when discussing how the team would attempt to restrict Montgomery and Gibbs.
According to Lions senior writer and expert Tim Twentyman, he stated, “We just got to get back to our basics, back to our fundamentals and what our jobs are within each defense.” This league is full of talented running backs. I am aware that many people believe that the two we are going to face are the greatest team in the league, and they will undoubtedly be difficult to defeat. “Our guys are up to the challenge, I believe they’re up to the challenge and they’re ready to respond,” he continued.
Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady said that Lions head coach Dan Campbell was right and typically “dead on” when he noted that Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Bills, was a more “patient” guy.
For a year in New Orleans, Dan and I shared a room. “Dan is the best,” he continued. He has an amazing perspective on football. Josh made a number of plays on Sunday that not many people on the earth can make, isn’t that how you kind of picture him playing and comprehending?
