When we picked him up I remember the scouting report saying he was a better outside corner even though shorter. Boy was he good tonight.

He has to stay outside. He is just so much better out there despite having an inside corner frame.

He stepped up huge tonight, especially after Arnold went down. His only limitation is his height but he does great against the 6’0ish WR’s. You just don’t want him out there vs guys like Evans/Metcalf

He was a big reason why the lions won today

That was one of the best Lions cornerback games of all time. Granted that’s a low bar.

It was. And against a top receiving core.

" I knew I was going to play that way, the only thing I kind of was shocking that I got player of the game. I never got one of those, man; that was an unreal feeling.”
Need the locker-room speech.

So happy for him. He balled out what a free agent signing.

He might be worth hanging on to moving forward for the sole reason that he’s shown he can match up with Justin Jefferson.

I know we signed him to a multi year deal. Witt CD3 likely gone next year AR gonna have every chance to win the #2 spot opposite Arnold

Shut down JJ arguably the toughest ever receiver to cover one on one, has been sneaky good most of the season and is signed at a laughably low caphit for another year. This man deserves his own thread. Thank you Brad Holmes, again.

I hope Arnold is even playing next year. Any word on his injury?
He said he is playing @NYLion59
He was also on live last night postgame dancing around etc. Xrays also negative.
I believe at a minimum that indicates he sbould be fine next season let alone in the divisional round

There were several on the board, at time of the signing, that repeatedly brought up how well he played on the outside which convinced me back then that he could do it.
Great great game by him

Great news and a bit shocking. Thanks
Yep, that was definitely Peak Amik. He’s had down games this year but I’ve always been impressed by his competitiveness; definitely not a guy who backs down. Quintessential Lions guy. As DC said, he’s gonna give you his feisty best EVERY time out.

While Amik’s performance was outstanding I just want to point out that Addision was held to 1 reception for 0 yards on 6 targets. Hockenson was held to 2 receptions for 9 yards on 8 targets. The Vikings as a whole were held to 166 yards passing for the game, on 41 attempts.
