On Sunday Night Football, DeShon Elliott and his Detroit Lions teammates will be on a mission when they take on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Depending on what happens earlier in the day will determine whether or not a spot in the NFL Playoffs will be a possibility for the Lions when the game kicks off. But, regardless of what is on the line, you can bet Elliott and his teammates are going to do everything they can to shut up Rodgers and a Packers team that does not respect them.
What did DeShon Elliott say about Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers?
On Friday, Elliott spoke to reporters about the Lions’ upcoming game against the Packers, and he made it very clear that he does not believe that Rodgers or the Packers respect his team.
“A-Rod doesn’t respect us, that team doesn’t respect us and we’re used to being the underdog,” safety DeShon Elliott said Friday. “No matter what the record says, we’re going to fight our ass off and play smash-mouth football, just because the respect factor. We all got here someway, somehow. Yeah, he’s a Hall of Famer, but I just don’t like the way he’s been talking about my guys all year and the way that team views us. So we want to go out there and prove something.”
“I just feel like as a competitor, bro, you respect everybody in this league and for you to see someone or hear someone say some wild stuff about you and your teammates and brothers, shoot, what you gonna do?” said Elliott. “You gonna lay down or you gonna stand up? We’re gonna go out there and stand up.”
What do you think, Nation? Will the Lions take down Rodgers and the Packers?
