The Detroit Lions squeaked out a win over the arch-rival Green Bay Packers on Thursday night by a score of 34-31.
Green Bay played tough, but Dan Campbell and Co. are rolling on all cylinders right now.
They continue to hold onto the No. 1 seed with a record of 12-1.
Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver and Lions legend Calvin Johnson joined Up & Adams on Friday to talk about the one thing that could stop this team right now.
“Ourselves. Turning the ball over…When we shoot ourselves in the foot, that’s the only thing that stops this team. That and injuries,” Johnson said.

You know you are a good team when the only thing that can stop you is you.
This Lions team continues to score points on offense and hold down the fort on defense even when it does not have the healthiest lineup.
However, they did allow Green Bay to crawl back and almost win the game because they either turned the ball over or made mistakes in coverage.
Such incidents cannot happen again, especially with tougher competition in January and possibly February.
In the NFC playoffs, the Lions could face talented offensive teams such as the red-hot Philadelphia Eagles, the rival Minnesota Vikings, or the Packers again.
While Detroit might be the best team in the NFC right now due to its record, it proved on Thursday night that it could be at risk of being beaten by anyone if it gets in its own way.
