Payton's locker room presence

fwiw. Detroit has played much better on the road then at home. I think the pressure is probably getting to them in front of their fans.

Most definitely......I mean I have never been a pro football player, but I can only imagine the pressure to win under those conditions....not only for the players, but the coaches too. I hope they beat the Pack next week, but in the kind of weather they are going to be playing in as a dome team.....I just don't see it. The packers are another team who could have been really good if not for a couple of bounces this way or that.

The NFC was really competitive this year.
