LIVE BLOG: Lions Sea of Blue Invades Lucas Oil Stadium
The Detroit Lions are looking to win their ninth-straight game and improve to 10-1 on the season when they travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts.
It is yet another road game for the Lions, who have played four of six on the road since their Week 5 bye week. Fortunately for the Lions, they are unbeaten on the road this season and have had their passionate fan base travel well throughout the year.
With Lucas Oil Stadium being a four hour drive from Ford Field, a plethora of Lions fans once again elected to make the trip to support their team.
Under Dan Campbell, the Lions have taken plenty of pride in winning on the road. The group has a certain confidence that has allowed them to conquer all of the road environments they've seen this year.
“I think it’s all-encompassing, I think certainly it’s the guys we have and it’s why you go and get competitive guys," Campbell said. "I would say most of our guys – when you get in these tight moments, two things happen. You either crack or you want it, you want every bit of it. You want the ball in your hand, you want to be, ‘Run this ball behind me, I’m a D-tackle, try to run it at me. I’m the corner, I got one-on-one, I hope you throw it out here my way.’ And I think we – that’s our guys. We embrace that.”
