Take the points. If they get stuffed, it stops momentum and the 49ers get the ball to start the second half with some momentum. If the Niners score, it’s a much closer game.

Plus it makes it a 3-score game. The extra possession (and score needed) is significant. If it was a 13 point lead, I think Campbell goes for the TD.
As I mentioned why not try to draw them off and get it at the 1?? The fg? Would the distance even matter
He was injured prior to getting drafted. I wanted the Bills to take a chance on him, he is a burner and can stretch the field.
I'd have gone for the FG attempt there. Playoffs. On the road. Get to a three possession lead. If the points are there, take them.
N that’s why u kick it. Lost some momentum right there,
How did the Lion DB not make that INT? The ball hit him in the face, and the Niners' WR catches the rebound and is down at the Lions' 4. smh
I agree with kicking the FG in that situation (though the Lions have been going on 4th down all year).
I wouldn't agree that the Lions are toast. Most football games have times when a team is rolling, and times when they are reeling. The Lions are having a tough 3rd qtr, but there's still a lot of time for them to regain their composure and either stop the Niners or score again.
Yep, and instead of being 24-17 now with 5 min left in the 3rd, it would be at least 27-17.
fumble on 1st down, and the Niners recover with great field position. the wheels are falling off of the Lions' bus
Looks like some bad karma from the unsuccessful fourth down attempt. The ghost of playoffs past is now on the Lions sideline.
Reynolds with 2 big drops. smh
…something that the “go for two” jihadists fail to factor in to their equations.
I don't think I'd throw the ball to him any more tonight.
Back when I used to moderate a gambling forum, we used to have a few guys that would make similar comments…they inevitably left after they lost their *** with that sure-fire way to get rich.
The Lions don’t have the pedigree or the self confidence to punch back. The RB gets the ball stripped. The WR & TE both drop two gimme passes, the DT allow a 5’ 10” QB to slip out of his grip resulting in a 49er 1st down. This is why I said they should have gone for the TD when they had the ball on the 2 yard line.
I do, but the momentum sure seems to be solely in one direction.
It's still a tie game, so a lot of outcomes are still possible.
