Key Points:

  • Lions DB Terrion Arnold shared a wild story
  • His grandfather, and his dream, predicted his interception
  • It was the first of his career

The Detroit Lions lost by a score of 27-24 to the Minnesota Vikings this past Sunday in a game that had a little bit of everything.

Lions former first round draft pick Terrion Arnold was tasked with slowing down the Vikings' talented Justin Jefferson led receiving corps and did his best, but it wasn't enough as J.J. McCarthy led the Vikings to a signature road win at Ford Field.

On Wednesday, Arnold revealed that he had a dream about the day's events that he said eventually came true.

Arnold Says Dream Came True

Arnold spoke on the St. Brown Podcast Wednesday and revealed that he had a dream about catching his first NFL interception.

The dream came the past Sunday against the Vikings.

"You got your first pick, I know we've been talking about that for a while, how do you feel, are you excited, walk me through it, to me, like, it was a pretty crazy first pick," Amon-Ra St. Brown said to Arnold.

"To be honest, in my head, you already know how it is...You come it to me, like, I think this has been for like, however many games we done played, you come up to me before every game, you be like, I need you (to get) one, and I tell you before every game, like, 'I got you Saint,'" Arnold said, referencing an interception before breaking out into a fit of laughter.

"I mean, this right here, this a whole crazy, like, this is crazy, walking you through it, in my head, like, the day before, or like that night or whatever, I had a dream, like I never had this dream, so I had a dream that I caught a pick."

Arnold said he dreamt of jumping a curl route and while talking to his grandfather before the game.

He told him about the dream and said he would give the ball to the brother of late Vikings draft pick and former Alabama Crimson Tide teammate Khyree Jackson.

Arnold's grandfather told him his unselfishness would lead to an interception and sure enough, he was right.

Lions Out for Revenge at Commanders

The Lions will have a chance to exact revenge on last year's playoff opponent Washington in Washington, D.C. this Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.

The Commanders spoiled the Lions' dream season and sent coach Dan Campbell, GM Brad Holmes and their staffs back to the drawing board.

The Commanders will be without star QB Jayden Daniels and will likely turn to Marcus Mariota in his stead, making Sunday's game seem all the more winnable — on paper, anyway.
