Detroit Lions vs. New Orleans Saints | 2023 Week 13 Game Highlights

WHEN A DEFENSE IS TRYING TO TAKE AWAY SOMETHING, YOUR OTHER POINT, WHETHER IT’S RUN OR PASS, YOU CAN LENAN ON THAT. >> Joe: RUNNING ON THIRD AND SEVEN AND IT’S MONTGOMERY KEEPING HIS FOOT IN FOR A FIRST DOWN. THE LIONS WILL DO THAT. IT’S THIRD AND LONG. WHERE JARED GOFF EXCELS, HIS PLAY-ACTION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. >> Joe: HIS FIRST THROW OF THE DAY IS OFF PLAY-ACTION, AND IT’S JAMESON WILLIAMS WHO IS STARTING TO COME ALIVE. BEATING PAULSON ADEBO WITH FLAGS DOWN. WILLIAMS THE FIRST-ROUND PICK >> Joe: CAMPBELL’S LIONS 16-5 FROM THE START

OF NOVEMBER LAST YEAR. INSIDE THE SAINTS’ 40. HERE IS JAHMYR GIBBS, HIS FIRST TOUCH OF THE DAY. AND GIBBS HAS ROOM! BREAKING INTO THE SECONDARY. GIBBS EXPLODES AND MAKES IT FIRST AND GOAL. ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE BIG PLAYS WITH ONE OF THE BEST BIG PLAY THE BIGGER RUNNING BACK IN MONTGOMERY THAT COMES IN HERE. ON FIRST AND GOAL, IT IS MONTGOMERY AND IT’S A DETROIT LIONS TOUCHDOWN ON THE FIRST DRIVE. IT’S THAT RED ZONE AREA. THEY MOVE THE BALL VERY WELL BETWEEN THE 20s. >> Joe: COVERAGE TIGHT, HE CHUCKS IT DOWN. IT’S INTERCEPTED OFF OF

JUWAN JOHNSON’S HANDS INTO THOSE OF BRIAN BRANCH. THE ROOKIE FROM ALABAMA WITH HIS SECOND AND A DISASTROUS START STARTS TO ROLL ON YOU. >> Joe: AGAINST

A SAINTS’ DEFENSE THAT WAS SO GOOD EARLY ON THIS SEASON, TRYING TO GET BACK TO THAT. THEY RUSH FOUR ON THIRD AND SIX. GOFF LETS IT RIP. A TOUCHDOWN TO LaPORTA! TWO DRIVES, TWO SCORES, AND A MARVELOUS START TO THIS GAME FOR DETROIT. >> Daryl: THIS IS FANTASTIC. WHO WILL WIN THAT PASS RUSH OPPOSITE AIDAN HUTCHINSON. A LOT OF GUYS YOU SEE ON THAT SIDELINE. >> Joe: CARR THROWS INCOMPLETE.

IT WAS KNOCKED AWAY BY CAMERON PIECES. SECOND AND TEN FROM THE 46. GOFF, HE’S GOT LaPORTA. THE ROOKIE TIGHT END DOWN TO THE 25. HE ALREADY HAS A TOUCHDOWN AND 29 MORE YARDS HERE. >> Daryl: FUNDAMENTALS FOR THE HURTING THE SAINTS. >> Joe: GOFF GIVEN ALL DAY. AMON-RA ST. BROWN! WHAT A START FOR DETROIT!

THE FIRST FIRST DOWN OF THE DAY FOR THE SAINTS, JOHN COMISKEY YOU CAN ONLY BLOCK OUT SO

MUCH. >> Daryl: BE A GOLDFISH, JOE. LIKE TED LASSO SAYS. >> Joe: THE BEST. THIRD DOWN AND NINE. CARR OFF HIS BACK FOOT, TOO TALL FOR PERRY. COVERED BY BRIAN BRANCH. NOW DUE AN EXTENSION NEXT SUMMER. ON THE 20 YARD LINE OUT OF THE I. MONTGOMERY, PAVES THE WAY FOR A FIRST DOWN RUN OF A DOZEN. >> Daryl: YOU BRING IN BRAD HOLMES AND HE SPENT TIME IN L.A. ON AT THIS POINT. THIRD AND SEVEN HERE. THEY RUSHED FIVE. GOFF STEPS INTO ONE. INCOMPLETE. OUT IN FRONT OF JOSH REYNOLDS. A LITTLE BIT OF SPACE. GOFF

MISFIRES AND BACK-TO-BACK NEVER GET THINGS DONE TO GET TO THE POINTS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. >> Joe: HILL HANDS IT OFF TO KAMARA. A FIRST DOWN TO BRING THE FIRST QUARTER TO A CLOSE AND BRING SOME OF THE ONLY CHEERS WE’VE SEEN TO THE BLACK AND GOLD FANS TRYING TO GIVE HIM THAT THREAT OPPOSITE HUTCHINSON. CARR HAS KAMARA. KAMARA HAS A FIRST DOWN, STUMBLES FORWARD TO THE 42. FIVE-TIME PRO BOWLER. OFFENSE, 1 FOR 4 ON THIRD DOWN. THIRD DOWN AND LONG HERE. CARR STEPS UP. LETS IT TLI. HE HAS A.T. PERRY. THE BEST THROW OF THE

DAY FROM DEREK CARR. 29 YARDS TO THE ROOKIE. THIRD AND NINE. THE LIONS BRINGING THE HOUSE. CARR TRYING TO BEAT IT WITH OLAVE! THE FIRST CATCH FOR HIM ON HIS FIRST TARGET, AND THEY DO CONVERT THIRD AND NINE. A GAIN OF 23. GIVE THEM ANOTHER OPTION DOWN HERE. SECOND AND GOAL. CARR HAS GRAHAM AND A TOUCHDOWN! TWO CATCHES THIS YEAR, BOTH OF THEM TOUCHDOWNS, AND THE SAINTS ARE ON THE BOARD. >> Joe: WE SAW BRUCE IRVIN GET A SEEMS THE TEAM HAS TRADED UNIFORMS. SECOND AND 16, UNDERNEATH IT’S LaPORTA. SAM LaPORTA TO THE 35. SECOND-ROUND

GOFF LOADS UP, DOWN THE MIDDLE, A PERFECT STRIKE, AND IT’S AMON-RA ST. BROWN! GOT A STEP ON PAULSON ADEBO AND THAT WAS A WELL-THROWN FOOTBALL. >> Joe: GOFF 9 OUT OF 13 TODAY. 1:20, IT’S FREEMAN. LaPORTA GIVES HIM A BLOCK. RAYMOND TRIED TO CLIMB THE LADDER AND ADEBO DRAGGED HIM DOWN. THEY JUST HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT EXTRA LINEMAN IN THE GAME.

DAN SKIPPER MOTIONS ACROSS THE FORMATION. THEY RUN BEHIND HIM WITH MONTGOMERY. HE HAS ENOUGH FOR A FIRST DOWN. DOWN TO A MINUTE. AND THEY USE THEIR SECOND >> Joe: THIRD AND SEVEN, 15 SECONDS. GOFF IS PRESSURED. LETS IT FLY, INCOMPLETE. OVER THE HEAD OF ST. BROWN AND WILL BE A FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT. RILEY PATTERSON. AND HE HAS THE CHIP SHOT.

BACK IN. SECOND AND TEN. THE LIONS BRING PRESSURE. KAMARA WITH SOME ROOM AND A FIRST DOWN TO MIDFIELD. THERE’S AN INJURED LION BACK IN THE BACKFIELD, IT’S McNEILL.

UNDERTHROWN, OLAVE COMES BACK AND MAKES THE GRAB. SAVING CARR ON A POORLY THROWN BALL. >> Daryl: THIS IS OUTSTANDING. JERRY JACOBS. FIRST AND GOAL AT THE 2. KAMARA STRAIGHT AHEAD FOR THE SAINTS’ TOUCHDOWN. EXCELLENT DRIVE TO BEGIN

THE SECOND HALF FOR NEW ORLEANS AND THE SAINTS, BY THE WAY, ARE 2 FOR 2 IN THE RED ZONE TODAY. SEND A MESSAGE THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER FOOTBALL. >> Joe: THIRD AND 15, UNDERNEATH, LaPORTA’S GOT THE GRAB. A LONG WAY TO GO. HE WON’T GET THERE. HE IS SWARMED. AND THE SAINTS FIRMLY HAVE THIS CROWD BACK IN THE GAME, WITHIN THE START OF THE SECOND QUARTER. FIRST DOWN AND TEN FROM THEIR OWN 38 YARD LINE. PLAY-ACTION, CARR STEPS UP AND THROWS TO A WIDEOPEN CHRIS OLAVE. AND ON THE FIRST PLAY OF THIS DRIVE, OLAVE

GETS 30 YARDS INTO LIONS’ TERRITORY. >> Daryl: JOE, WE GOT INTO THAT WHAT A GREAT DRIVE DOWN TO CHRIS OLAVE. >> Joe: WHO HAS HIS FOURTH CATCH OF THE GAME. DUMPS IT OFF.

THIS YEAR. KEEPS IT THAT WAY AND SENDS THIS GAME TO THE FOURTH QUARTER WITH THE LIONS, 27, THE SAINTS, 21. IT WAS 21-0, SEVEN MINUTES IN. NEW ORLEANS HAS MADE IT A GAME. 20 YARDS ON ALL THREE TOUCHDOWN DRIVES. THIS IS A GUY THEY DIDN’T KNOW THEY’D HAVE. HAD A CONCUSSION. THE BALL IS ON THE GROUND, AND THE LIONS HAVE IT! IT’S A FUMBLED SNAP AND IS RECOVERED BY JOSH PASQUAL. UNBELIEVABLE. REPLACED BY MONTGOMERY. SECOND AND THREE. END AROUND AND A REVERSE. HERE COMES JAMESON WILLIAMS, EXP EXPLODES, TO THE END ZONE! TOUCHDOWN, DETROIT! SUPERMAN DIVE

FOR NUMBER 9. THAT’S ONE WAY ON A REVERSE. THEY’LL GO FOR TWO HERE. GOFF LOOKS TO THROW FOR IT. BACK OF THE END ZONE, ST. BROWN HAD IT KNOCKED AWAY. STEP FOR STEP, NEPHI SEWELL. CARR IS BACK IN. THE LIONS BRING PRESSURE. KAMARA HAS A FIRST DOWN. INTO LIONS TERRITORY. GOES FOR 12 YARDS. >> Daryl: THAT’S A PRETTY GOOD THAT COMPLETION RIGHT THERE, BY THE WAY, HIS 15th IN A ROW. LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAINTS BEING IN THE GAME, NOW LEAVES. AND TIME FOR THE JAMEIS WINSTON >> Joe: HE WAS OUT THERE SO YOU WONDER

IF THIS IS WHAT THEY’VE DONE WITH CARR, BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO. FROM THE 30 YARD LINE, THE PENALTY KEEPS THE DRIVE GOING. THE TAYSOM HILL RUN TO THE LEFT SIDE GETS HIM CLOSE TO ANOTHER FIRST DOWN. A SMILE FROM TAYSOM HILL. IN THE THIRD AND TWO SITUATION. >> Joe: AND NOW THIRD DOWN AND 13 WHERE A FIELD GOAL DOESN’T DO YOU A WHOLE LOT OF GOOD THIS IS TIPPED AND CAUGHT! THE JAMEIS EXPERIENCE NEVER FAILS! CHRIS OLAVE ON A TIPPED BALL FOR 30 YARDS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? >> Joe: ON SECOND AND GOAL,

ALVIN KAMARA KEEPS THE PLAY ALIVE AND KEEPS ON CHURNING. 17 YARDS FOR KAMARA! >> Joe: HE’S PLAYED LIKE A GUY WHO IS MAD. THEY HAVE THEIR FULLBACK WITH 4:30 LEFT. HILL GETS THE EDGE. INTO LIONS’ TERRITORY. OLD RELIABLE, TAYSOM HILL. >> Daryl:

THAT’S THE THING ABOUT SEEMED LIKE FROM THE OPENING KICKOFF. ON SECOND AND SHORT, JAMAAL WILLIAMS, A COUPLE BLOCKERS IN FRONT. IT WILL BE CLOSE. JAMEIS WINSTON IN.
