Can’t blame them for stopping at @Braums_Inc for a burger & some ice cream before delivering @BarrySanders statue to Boone Pickens Stadium
I know that no one on the can say it, so I will... that is a terrible missed call, on hands to the face and bad break for our D that is playing so hard. #replayhelpneeded
Just wanted to send out a quick note thanking #MattStafford and his family for all they have done for the team, the fans and the city.
Thx. Can't believe you found 5 minutes of highlights after all these years.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Detroit sports legend, Al Kaline. It is always devastating to lose someone who means so much to the city. Rest easy, Mr. Tiger.

Yes, I played here.
Yes, I love the fans.
Yes, I love the community.

It’s home.
Period.

This was special on so many levels. A slow start had pundits questioning me, my linemen wanted it a lot, & the run we went over 2000 on sealed a win to go to the playoffs. To end with exactly 2053 was cool because that is mine and #KevinGlover numbers 20 & 53.
Congrats to on passing me and several others to get to 101 career rushing TD's & counting... AND He is having a monster game too against the
At least 2500
Not saying that we would not have been able to overcome those calls if we had converted TDs in the red zone, but man they hurt
I can’t thank you all enough for making my 50th so special. After 20 years, to have so many of you still carrying the memories we created together when I was on the field , is a great honor. It really means a lot to me and my family.
So many of my friends and peers have reached out today - but I know how busy is, and after I stuck him with in the lucky K1 s still talking to me - Thanks for the kind words Kyler - I am loving watching your career develop too!
Yeah... I saw that. 250 on the day and 2 TDs. Pretty sweet

Wow. 108 yds on 4 touches and a TD @saquon had a godd 1st quarter... he just caught a bomb for a TD in the 2nd quarter. @giants in a shootout
