motown under two minutes. bucs down eight need to score a touchdown. but that's an interception. and the lions win it 3123. so goff is headed back home to lead his lions into levi's for the nfc championship next sunday night. that is your look at sports. we'll results or just rhetoric. californians deserve a senator who is going to deliver for them every day and not just talk a good game. adam schiff. he held a dangerous president accountable.
