The Detroit Lions had one of the greatest comebacks in recent NFL history.
Even with Jared Goff throwing five interceptions and trailing for most of the game, they still found a way to win on the road.
That’s why Dan Orlovsky had no choice but to tip his hat to his former team.
On ESPN Radio’s “UNSPORTSMANLIKE,” the quarterback-turned-analyst didn’t hesitate to call the Lions the best team in the National Football League.

He claimed that Dan Campbell’s team has no flaws, and to be fair, he might be right.
Not many teams would be able to overcome a five-turnover performance on the road in primetime and against another playoff-caliber squad.
Things went south rather quickly for them, but Campbell never changed his plan.
He kept the same passionate and uber-aggressive approach, and he and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson continued to trust their quarterback despite his struggles.
Despite being down double digits for most of the game, they still tried to establish the run, and it all paid off in the end.
Coach Campbell needed his defense to make some stops and flip the field, and they made some big plays in the second half to keep C.J. Stroud away from the endzone.
The Lions had already shown their grit by beating and dominating some great teams.
Even so, their most impressive win may have been this game, in which they did everything to win.
