The Lions Are Now A Real Super Bowl Contender With Jahmyr Gibbs And David Montgomery Warning Everyone To Call Them 'Sonic And Knuckles'

All the great ones leave their marks! The Wet Bandits, the Sticky Bandits, Thunder and Lightning and now Sonic and Knuckles. Gotta admit, it's an awesome nickname with Gibbs as Sonic and Montgomery as Knuckles. For those who don't remember 

Yeah that sums up how they play pretty well. Sure, Montgomery might not be known for speed, he's just constantly in the end zone. Then you have Gibbs doing a little bit of everything. If anything, this is the Lions finally embracing being a Super Bowl favorite. You gotta have something to you to win a Super Bowl. Legion of Boom, Dynasty, whatever it might be, you gotta have a bit. The Lions now have their bit and it plays. It's an AWESOME nickname and we all know a solid nickname has to be worth a win or two. 

Last year was the jump. That's how they got the NFC Title game before losing in excruciating fashion. You need something after the jump to finish the job and that's where the nickname comes in. I know the Hutch injury sucks, it's brutal news and obviously a huge loss. But the Lions still have one of the, if not the, most elite offense in the NFL. Ben Johnson is going to dial something up absurd now with the nickname. It's only a matter of time. Print the shirts.
