The Detroit Lions fell to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday (Sept. 25) in the very last minute. It’s, unfortunately, a very common feeling for Lions fans, but is this the “Same Ol’ Lions” or not?

Jeff Risdon of USA Today Network The Lions Wire joins Anne Erickson on the WRIF’s newest podcast, “The Squad,” to talk about the game, why he does not think this is the same ol’ Lions, what’s ahead in Seattle and much more.

Risdon is a Dan Campbell fan. but “he’s got to learn how to win in game,” Risdon says. “I think from Monday through Saturday, he’s been phenomenal, and the way that he’s adapted and changed the culture to be a reflection on what he wants his team to be has been fantastic.”
