Detroit Lions vs. Carolina Panthers | 2022 Week 16 Game Highlights 

Congrats panther fans, outplayed and out coached all day. From a lions fan, well played.

That was the most convincing win I have seen from this Panthers team in a long, long time. Whatever Steve Wilks did to motivate the Panthers this week worked big time. All 3 phases of the game were in sync today and it was amazing to watch. Also euthanasia for Rhule.

As a Jets fan Sam Darnold really looks different as a panther he's surrounded by everything that the Jets couldn't give him

The panthers run game is so deadly. Even without CMC, they’re a threat on their feet.

No matter how the season ends, these two teams have exceeded their expectations for this season, hope they can build on from this season (:

We finally snapped our last 3 seasons of only winning 5 games. On to next week and beyond! KEEP POUNDING!

Steve Wilkes should be the panthers head coach next year.

Man Darnold gave me some Cam vibes on those runs. He was also very accurate. Hope you keep that job Sam, you’ve been playing great the last few weeks

Panthers looked great this game. Especially the run.

Lions fan but, panthers run games was hardcore and RedZone defense amazing great win Carolina 😎

CAR gets an impressive and convincing win over a hot DET team. Darnold since coming back hasn't been bad at all. Foreman was a beast on the ground 😤. As for DET, maybe they can still make the playoffs. Kudos to them for improving overall. Congrats on the win CAR 💪.

terrance marshall is becoming a reliable target especially 1 on 1 situations

Good job panthers !!💙

Nice to see Sam and Jared both playing well on new teams.

Almost everybody counted my Panthers out today and we came in and defended the Bank! Great team win when all odds were against us! Keep pounding! Gg Lions! Good luck with your playoff push

Hell of a game for the panthers ‼️

As die hard panthers fan don’t ever count us out cus we still alive #keeppounding 🖤💙🐆

Back to the old same old Lions defense. Love it.

This team would be leading the NFC South right now if Darnold played the whole season.

Goff throws one of the best deep balls in the league! Straight cannon!

I appreciate still giving the balls to fans. That's my team.

Carolina has to give Wilkes this job, unless they’re getting someone that’s impossible to pass on.

Great win today!! The run game and o-line was amazing, bearded Sam and DJ Moore where on point too. I hope they can keep it up next week against Tampa Bay. Happy holidays to all Panthers fans and Keep Pounding!!

The Panthers are clearly the best team in the NFC South

WOW . Way to go Carolina Panthers !!!!! Arguably the biggest win late in the year and this team really showed some heart , it might have to come down to week 18 for the Detroit lions to clinch a wild card spot

GG by both teams. Good to see Chark ball out, good to see the Panthers start to pull it together.

Proud of my Panthers!!

I knew the Panthers could pull out this dub, forget all the haters that were saying we had no chance to win this game. Merry Christmas you filthy animals. Keep Pounding Panther Nation.

Man i wish we had half of this run game last week vs the Steelers.

If the Panthers win out, they win the division.

Defense lacking super hard again. I'm glad to have my Lions back. I was starting to miss the feelings of despair.

I was at this game and this video doesn't do justice on how bad lion got beat. Panthers ran the ball almost every it felt like and lions knew but couldn't do a damn thing. KEEP POUNDING!!!

Give Steve Wilks the job next season, he’s earned it honestly

Carolina still in division title picture!

This game was a personal blessing to me. I lost my best friend who was my precious grandma a few weeks before and my Papa several months before that. It was our first Christmas without both of them. It definitely felt empty like an empty Christmas that day. It was also the coldest Christmas I've ever seen in NC. And the season was terrible for my Panthers. So I felt like I was all out of hope. But these guys were dominating the Lions just a hour and a half away from home in weather that the Lions should be used to. Also, the Lions wore thick sleeves while the Panthers played with bare arms in 8 degree weather. It definitely put a smile on my face that Christmas 🥹

I said it a few weeks ago, and I’ll say it again, the future of this team is incredibly bright. Keep an eye on the Carolina Panthers the next 5 years

Welcome back Lions I've missed you the last 7 weeks!

My panthers can still make the playoffs 💙🖤🐆

Back to pounding 🙏👑, this is how you finish the season at home congrats to the team and staff and big love to panther nation and bank of America for hanging in there here's to a bright future #ProtectTheBank 🛡🏦

Absolutely amazing game by my panthers. The playoff push is real! 8:57 is the only part of this video that absolutely sucks. I pray for a speedy recovery for Jaycee. We need you!

The Sam Darnold Era has just begun.

Purely dominant display by the Panthers. I hope the season finishes well and carries into '23. Also, welcome home, Sam.

Nice job panthers your team smashed us at both sides of the ball at the lines of scrimmage. I think the panthers should keep Wilks as their head coach because his team is playing hard for him. I hope this beat down my team got will get us back on point when the bears show up next week.

Panthers are getting better, let’s go

This was an unfortunate time for the Lions to lay an egg. They were rolling.

Lions played their worst, panthers played their best. Job well done

As a Panthers fan, the Lions have a good future ahead of them. Hope both of our teams make the playoffs this year. What helped the Lions is that both NFC East teams that they're chasing also lost. Coach Wilks had the guys fired up today and they played inspired ball. #KeepPounding

The Panthers ground game was good old-fashion football. Very exciting. Congratulations on a well deserved win.

Remember who the REAL kings of the jungle are! Keep pounding

This is the best darnold has ever looked in the nfl

Good grief, those Panther backs can run! 😳😳🥵 🏃🏿‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏿‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️

Sam darnold looks like himself today. Perfect throw to his guys when needed. This win feels good 🔵⚫️🎉

Love this new energy from my Panthers! I’m really liking what Wilks is bringing to Charlotte. Let’s keep him around for a while.

If the Panthers want to overtake the Bucs, which is genuinely still possible, they need to do it like today in the run. Even Sam Darnold said it two or three weeks ago. The run is where their strength is right now and they need to embrace it.

D. Foreman is running wild, give me Delo Williams vibes when he breaks away in open space. Good back for sure and looks stronger than CMC in between the tackles. I just hope they don’t burn him out.

They need to have a mini tournament between the lions, Bengals, panthers, and jaguars sometime😂

That Panther rushing duo reminds me of Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams from years ago

This game absolutely sent all my parlays down the drain, panthers just kept pounding. When I seen how many rush yards the panthers had in the first half which was over 200 yards, I accepted the defeat no way in hell a team can mount a coke back when your getting run over like that. Props to the panthers

I'm so happy for Sam Darnold because he has a huge opportunity to not only make the playoffs, but to also steal the NFC South from Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. TBH with you guys, my Dad and I still believe the Jets should have held on to him.

Statement win for our Panthers. Merry Christmas Panther Nation!!

Man, Panthers running on all cylinders. They’re a totally different team now than they were at the start of the season. No more Rhule or Mayfield to hold them back.

What a bizarre season as a panthers fan. Few weeks ago we were talking about the #1 pick. #keeppounding If we run the ball like that we can play against anyone

I'm a niners fan and congrats on the win today panthers. Lions tried as well but the Panthers still pulled off the dub.

Good game panthers glad to see Terrance Marshall on the field making big plays keep on letting him play he is a very good player

Congrats panthers fans you clearly were the better team today!! Coming from a lions fan well deserved ggs!!

The Panthers looked great in this game. Definitely a lot to look forward to next season.

You can't expect to win in shootouts every game, at some point Lions defense gotta step up. GG Darnold and the Carolina Panthers

Good learning lesson for the Detroit Lions, I think this was their first trap game and they learned the hard way that any given sunday isnt a meaningless term. Depsite this, I am beyond happy with their play this year and optomistic going into the future. GG Panthers

Sam is more than capable qb as long as there's a running game. Great job Panthers 👏

Just when the Lions have a chance they go, Hey we’re the Lions we love a long off season.

Panthers with the W

I've enjoyed being a Lions fan for the past 50 years. Now, let me get another beer.

Huge runs for Carolina today. Hope we get some momentum.

The disguise from Goff and the RB for the first TD was butter.

Run game is the best its ever been. Everything clicked so well today. Dont reach for a qb in the draft. If darnold finishes the season strong resign him and lets see what he can do with a full season. He's making all the right decisions. Great win all around today. #KeepPounding

Our Oline did phenomenal today

Darnold doing work.

Panthers are keeping the pressure on Tampa for the division

I love you guys let’s KEEP POUNDING !!!!

Well definitely took the wind of our sails. It was a good ride while it lasted, still proud of the turnaround of this VERY YOUNG Lions team. Also, every one that needed to lose also lost. Lions won't be sniffing playoffs playing how they did today, but if they decide to turn it around and go 9-8, they still have a small grain of hope to get in. Certainly everything to play for.

All those people who said the Lions would dominate us and get a easy win.......... SLAP YOURSELF IN FACE! Have yourself Merry Christmas 🤗

Simply put, the Lions left their hearts back in Detroit when they traveled to Charlotte yesterday! Fortunately for them though, the remaining matches for WAS, SEA, GB and NYG are all against tough teams.

I hope Detroit still has a chance to make the playoffs. GO LIONS GO!

Detroit couldn't stop the run but the good news is they couldn't stop the pass either.

Nice dominant game Panthers. Let's get it next week Lions!!

Thank you for the win Panthers from a Washington fan.

#KeepPounding!!! first time for a few years where i'm excited and impatient to wait a whole week to watch another panthers game... CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!

GO PANTHERS. Beautiful win. Also, time to take the NFC South once and for all

2-TIME SUPER BOWL RUNNER-UP CAROLINA PANTHERS BEATS 0-16 DETROIT LIONS

Can we just talk about how Sam hasn't turned it over since starting? They said he made strides in the off season and I'm starting to believe that

These two teams need to build up on the momentum that they end at the end of this season. They could have a big impact next season and more.

The Lions never fail to let their fans down. But this year, at least, they fooled us for 14 games. Been a Lions fan for 55 years, and this year, believe it or not, is one of the better years of those 55. At least I live in Ohio now instead of Michigan. So that's a plus in my life.

Damn how did I not know this game was today!! Slept right through it 🤣 Oh well, GO PANTHERS!!!

Wow Ekonwu looked great no sacks aloud great run blocking

Great win

Was kinda sad for the lions tbh they had a great season 🦁💙💙🤍🤍

Wow we got embarrassed. That was a pathetic performance by our defense smh. That was a tough watch. That was a winnable game and an important game and it just proves that were not ready for the playoffs

Can we talk about how this is the season of Ex Jets Quarterback, first Geno Smith is doing great, and now Darnold is solid

and this is proof that the Jets ruin every QB they touch. Sam Darnold was near perfect today

#KeepPounding 💙🖤💙🖤💙
