The Detroit Lions’ thrilling victory over the Green Bay Packers was even more impressive given the home team’s defensive challenges, with several key linemen sidelined due to injuries. Despite the setbacks, the Lions delivered, and cornerback Amik Robertson made it clear what this team is all about.

Robertson, who played a key role in the win, didn’t mince words when addressing the Packers’ effort. “They try to be competitive, but you can tell they’re not competitive,” he said after the game.

The cornerback doubled down, emphasizing the Lions’ identity as aggressors in the league. “We hunting, we ain’t the hunted,” Robertson declared. Reflecting on the Packers’ performance, he added, “I know the real them. Great team, but I feel like it’s a lot of pretenders.” With this victory, the Lions improved to an impressive 12-1 regular season record.
