What did Pardon My Take say about Dan Campbell going for it on his own 24 against the Packers?

The Pardon My Take crew split on Dan Campbell's fourth-down attempt from the Lions' own 24 in Detroit's 20-17 win over Green Bay. The defense of the call: Detroit's defense has been weak, a punt would let the Packers bleed the clock, and from the 24 with about four and a half minutes left Green Bay could not run it out, so Detroit would get the ball back either way. One host still called it a crazy gamble.

• The Packers took over with 4:50 left; the Lions got the ball back with 3:21 left and all three timeouts.
• The hosts said a team with a strong defense, like Seattle, should probably punt in the same spot.
• Packers fans had grounds to complain about several roughing-the-passer calls, and Green Bay's kicker went 0 for 2 from 35 yards and in.
