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.
