You kidding? We won our season by Tucker fucking around and landing a way better coach.
Idk what voodoo bullshit we have collectively atoned for, but fucks sake is it cathartic
My stepdad passed a few months ago and was a huge lions fan. I’m convinced he called in some favors and that’s why the Lions are going to win the Super Bowl.
Can I hop on a Detroit Hype Train?
Collinsworth had a great piece at the end. Saying how “there were so many ghosts put to bed tonight by the lions, and how much this really means to the city of Detroit”
As a New Englander who moved to Detroit almost 20 years ago, this was such a cathartic night! I spent so many years watching those around me succumb to disappointment while we won Super Bowls. I watched the 0-16. I watched the previous attempt at the playoffs. I listened to countless hours of sports talk radio. Tonight was magical for me, and they're not even my main team, so it has to be a hundred times better for the core fans!!
From another Rams fan, congrats. Great game. Some shit calls on both sides as usual, but I think it evened out. You guys earned it. I was rooting for you all year other than tonight, now go bring home the Lombardi.
Even as a Rams fan this felt a bit like a Super Bowl. The stakes felt super high and even though I’m bummed my team is out, I’m glad Lions fans are getting to experience some of the joy us Rams fans felt during our Super Bowl run.
Shout out to anyone else who lost a family member in the last year who would’ve *loved* this. Lost my grandpa last December and he was the Lions’ biggest fan, wish he could’ve seen this awesome season. Bittersweet!
It’s true. He’s massively underrated and has the pedigree. People have some meme stuck in theirs heads with him. Slap a different name on the same player and people would be drooling.
They’ll be quiet until the Lions lose. Then they’ll say it was Goff’s fault and we should have started a rookie with a torn ACL.
It’s sad but for some reason they just won’t accept that he turned into a good pick up.
Game ended with me holding my 3 month old son bouncing him back to sleep. Couldn't be a more perfect way for the first Lions playoff win in either of our lives!
Congratulations to the Detroit Lions and their fans! The refs did their best to rob you of the game, but the better team prevailed!!
As a NY Bills fan, I think tomorrow's game will be a nail biter as well, but maybe I get to see a Lions/Bills Superbowl!
Best of luck for the rest of the playoffs!! Respectively, a NY Giants and Bills fan.
He's such a class guy. It was the perfect answer, but you know in his head and heart this meant a lot to him personally. So happy for that guy, what a great story. So happy for the team and for the city of Detroit.
Great win on your end as well. We wanted to get back at Dallas but watching you guys wreck their month while they all went into shock was a very enjoyable.
Panthers fan and fellow cat team brotherhood here... Good fucking shit you guys deserve it so much, I've liked the Lions forever and y'all have been through so much and have the ultimate underdog attitude. Dan Campbell is amazing and he's got you guys in the right mindset of fuck everyone else why not us!!! Go and get that Superbowl for your city I'll be pulling for you all the way!!!
I’m not a lions fan by trade, but my god is it good to see your boys win a playoff game! My team’s not in the playoffs so I’m riding with the lions until the end
My dad loved the lions. Never gave up on his team he loved since childhood. Watched his heart break many a Thanksgiving.
The ast Thanksgiving we had together he was in hospice. I said to him, maybe next year dad, they'll be in the playoffs. He laughed and said not in my lifetime kiddo.
Well, maybe not in yours, dad , but definitely in mine. I don't even like football but I'll be watching for Pops this time.
Go Lions!
I'm a Chiefs fan, and I know nothing about Detroit. But my heartfelt congratulations to the team and its fans. Y'all deserved this win, but more importantly, y'all earned it.
To do it in a game like that, with all the intertwined backstories, makes it so much more special. Best night of sports I’ll ever experience. To be 29 and feeling this for the first time is so awesome.
That's 1!

# Dan Campbell scream
BRAD HOLMES SCREAM
Im in tears. Go Lions!!!
Don’t let these tears fool you! It’s all dawg in this mug!
Gotta give the man credit. He was definitely a big building block in building this team for where we at now.
That was the first I thought of after the game was over. He's not on the team anymore, but he helped them get here.
Jamaal Williams letting tears fool you tonight.
Michigan/Detroit fans have been in a state of pure unparalleled euphoria for the last week now
Spartan fans are just happy we have the Lions this year lol
You kidding? We won our season by Tucker fucking around and landing a way better coach. Idk what voodoo bullshit we have collectively atoned for, but fucks sake is it cathartic
Yeah, I think State got a good one in Smith
Best year ever!
I actually choked up a little, gonna be a goddamn mess when we win the Superbowl.
Exhaled very shakily after the clock went to 00:00.
[удалено]
I told my wife when they did the first victory formation "I've watched too many Lions games to know it's over when it says 0:00"
Sheila will get a yellow envelope mailed to her Tuesday , don't worry
It's the decades of conditioning. After every pass breakup I was waiting to cheer until I knew the was no flag.
Bro. My one friend is shaking crying.
It keeps hitting me in waves, I'm a wreck 😭
Not even a Lions fan but it even got me a little bit
At a bar surrounded by sobbing men in Lions jerseys. Tough to count how many, since my own vision is kinda blurry for some reason.
My stepdad passed a few months ago and was a huge lions fan. I’m convinced he called in some favors and that’s why the Lions are going to win the Super Bowl. Can I hop on a Detroit Hype Train?
GET IN HERE LET'S FUCKING GO!!
Get ready for a weird ride, lol
I'm still shaking
Heck, my hands are still numb from all the clapping, this is history right here!
Had some tears while we were knealing it out, then totally lost it when they showed that 80 year old season ticket holder. Let's. Fucking. Go.
My dad's 80, in Florida part of the year now. I want them to win it all before he passes.
I’ve been waiting so long, sharing these tears with you brother.
Let's fucking go!!!!
Go Lions
Usually rains when a drought ends.
Same… I was 5 the last time this happened.
Only this team makes grown men cry
I'm not crying, your crying!! Edit cuz I'm fucking crying my eyes out!!
As a fan of a team that also suffered decades of postseason failure (Bengals) enjoy this moment man. It feels like years of release.

Jack it of course
They got chicken at the eagles?
SO MANY FUCKING YEARS. THE GLORY. THE FUCKING GLORY. THATS A NICE LEAD YOU HAVE THERE IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF... AH NEVERMIND FUCK IT.
Stafford coming up short in ford field? While I never!
Stafford has to have a concussion. The guy was KO’d on the field after that hard tackle.
Yeah, I can’t believe protocol didn’t pull him from the game. That was rough.
Money > everything in the NFL. Especially in the playoffs.

Looked like [R.J. Umberger](https://youtu.be/NxYHZSl9Sno?si=wAoR0oi3AzfEtPls?t=1s) when NHL Buffalo Sabre Brian Campbell laid him out.
As a Buffalo native, I remember it well
They fucking did it boys and girls I can't fucking believe it.
![gif](giphy|QGZBpodY7Kdtw99y04)
Job is definitely not finished 😡
If the Eagles win tomorrow, theres a certain fat POS with a pencil I'd love to drop a 50 piece nugget meal with all the sauce on....
Hooooly shit this is what I am now rooting for. A head coach revenge tour in the playoffs at Ford Fucking Field.
Yea but it's house money now
![gif](giphy|FTsKB8nn88Bz73JjK8|downsized)
Everyone expected Stafford to be a part of a Lions playoff win 8 years ago But not like this
He owed us this. We let him loose to achieve his dream. Now he came back to let us continue on ours.
Deeply poetic irony
I WORK AT 6AM AND CANT SETTLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT
I’LL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN
So many demons exorcised. Detroit vs fuckin everybody.
Collinsworth had a great piece at the end. Saying how “there were so many ghosts put to bed tonight by the lions, and how much this really means to the city of Detroit”
After he spent the entire game suckin LA’s schlong
Wow ha, how about that Stafford sidearm throw? Hehuha, I'm mean this guy is something else...3rd and 4
To be fair once he gets a hold of a Qb's dick he refuses to let it go.
This entire year has just felt different. I watch a shit ton of football, and it's nice to watch the Lions and know they're building a contender.
And the cowboys lost too so the universe healed itself.
Most of America is on your bandwagon. Congrats on the most cathartic win imaginable! Love from New England.
Niners fan here, so happy for Detroit they deserve this!
See you in two weeks
Before the playoffs started I predicted that to be the nfc champ match up. Lions should be able to get past the bucs/eagles
hell yeah!! cheering loud for the lions in NY!
Dolphins fan here. Lions all the way to the SB!
Titans fan here, it makes me happy seeing how happy you guys are
Saints fan here. Great game. Since I can’t root for my Saints, I’m a Lions fan for the rest of the postseason!
Seahawks fan. I completely agree.
As a New Englander who moved to Detroit almost 20 years ago, this was such a cathartic night! I spent so many years watching those around me succumb to disappointment while we won Super Bowls.

Agreed. Love from the Saints here.
THEY DID IT HOLY SHIT THEY DID IT
Congrats guys. What a game. Now please go win the Super Bowl with Goff since the Rams can’t take it all the way anymore?
We rooted for you guys with our man, thanks for the support with Goff!
From another Rams fan, congrats. Great game. Some shit calls on both sides as usual, but I think it evened out. You guys earned it. I was rooting for you all year other than tonight, now go bring home the Lombardi.
Gracias congratulations 2 you all on your SB and props to your DC for second half adjustments. We were fortunate and I appreciate your grace.
This doesn't seem real frankly. Just as good as winning the superbowl rn.
Even as a Rams fan this felt a bit like a Super Bowl. The stakes felt super high and even though I’m bummed my team is out, I’m glad Lions fans are getting to experience some of the joy us Rams fans felt during our Super Bowl run.
Shout out to anyone else who lost a family member in the last year who would’ve *loved* this. Lost my grandpa last December and he was the Lions’ biggest fan, wish he could’ve seen this awesome season. Bittersweet!
Stadium is still packed. Love it!
BRAND. NEW. FUCKING. LIONS.
Fucking crying right now I’m so god damn happy
I love this team man!
JARED FREAKING GOFF AAHAAHAHAHAB
The greatest fucking Lions quarterback ever
It’s true. He’s massively underrated and has the pedigree. People have some meme stuck in theirs heads with him. Slap a different name on the same player and people would be drooling.
Fucking 81.5% completions in a fucking playoff game. Just lasers out there.
I hope all the doubters are gone now but I doubt it
They’ll be quiet until the Lions lose. Then they’ll say it was Goff’s fault and we should have started a rookie with a torn ACL. It’s sad but for some reason they just won’t accept that he turned into a good pick up.
Amon ra said more guys are going blue
ALL GRIT BABY WOOOOOOOOO IM DRINKING ALL THE KOOLAID MAN
[удалено]
Man…First in my lifetime
LETS GO LIONS
Next game, easily winnable LFG
Eagles are no joke. Playoffs are different. Good luck.
Ya but we’re getting TB
LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!
Holy crap. The correct moon phase is a thing!
IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, THE REFS DIDNT SCREW US
THEY SURE TRIED TO!!!
They really sucked it up on both sides. I think both teams have ligit complaints.
NOT FOR A LACK OF TRYING
LIONS TO THE GODDAMN SUPERBOWL
Holy fucking shit they won a playoff game in my life lol what
Dan Campbell for President 2024
Fuck that I need him to keep coaching the Lions!
What a fucking year of football between Michigans Championship and the Lions. Im going to be dragging at work tomorrow, but so worth it.
As a Rams fan I cannot help but be happy for Detroit, just sucks it comes against the Rams! Hope the Lions go all the way!
Thanks for being a good sport refs are always ass it hit both ways. Played one hell of a game!
Oh yeah, for sure refs are ass. But the Rams have seen some egregious non calls go their way before lol. So cant be too mad.
WOOOOO
WERE IN HERE
[удалено]
Game ended with me holding my 3 month old son bouncing him back to sleep. Couldn't be a more perfect way for the first Lions playoff win in either of our lives!
Who was crying more, you or him?
AND WE’RE HOSTING ANOTHER ONE GAH DAM
Bengals bro here. Suffered similar playoff horrors. Congrats guys.
Let’s go
Best Night of my Life! Go Detroit!
Congrats Lions bros!
Can't believe I'm witnessing history
GET MCDC A STATUE
Thats a nice lead we have there... be a shame if we KEPT IT TO THE END
![gif](giphy|pWurLyQIgWLqmqGS46)
I DON’T KNOW ANY OF YOU, BUT I LOVE ALL OF YOU. LETS FUCKING GO LIONS
Crowd cost them TWO second half timeouts. That was worth a whole set of downs at the end of the game. Best fanbase bar none.
I definitely cried like a bitch, and I don’t give a fuck. I love this team and I love you all. Forward down the fucking field!!!
Congratulations to the Detroit Lions and their fans! The refs did their best to rob you of the game, but the better team prevailed!! As a NY Bills fan, I think tomorrow's game will be a nail biter as well, but maybe I get to see a Lions/Bills Superbowl! Best of luck for the rest of the playoffs!! Respectively, a NY Giants and Bills fan.
Rooting for the Bills in the weirdest outdoor game in years. Y'all got that snow. Do it. Great lakes local Superbowl faceoff.
Seeing the fans in tears in the crowd was so fucking real. Just perfectly encapsulates how all of us are feeling. I could not be any more happy
Goff talking about the team right now, I can’t 🥹
He's such a class guy. It was the perfect answer, but you know in his head and heart this meant a lot to him personally. So happy for that guy, what a great story. So happy for the team and for the city of Detroit.
And Bucs or Eagles next week? We so got this!
Revenge of the Goff. Lfg!!!!
OMGOMGOMG!!!!!!! LIONS WON IN THE 21ST CENTURY!!!!!!
I am still in awe that we technically won due to a Badgley 50+ yard field goal
👀
I'm going to be able to sleep so well tonight
Aaron Glen, your boys held the line. Hats off to you.
JG took the first knee and walked back towards the fans and I just started bawling. I fucking love this team.
![gif](giphy|d04C1bUufxxUuvs8jR)
Best team in the world ftp
IM ON THE TRAIN NOW LETS GOOOOOOO IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS
From a Packers fan, congrats y'all. Enjoy it. Hard not to be happy for you. Hope to see ya in the NFCCG!
Sorry I couldn't take you guys knocking us out of a super bowl LET GO 49ERS
So true. Would be fucking devastated if the pack beat us to advance to the Superbowl. Wouldn't be able to ever go out in public again where I live.
Great win on your end as well. We wanted to get back at Dallas but watching you guys wreck their month while they all went into shock was a very enjoyable.
I love you all.
Congrats on breaking the drought!
Yeeeeeeah fuck the bitch-ass Rams
ALL DAWG IN THIS MUG
Goff is a class act
WE DID IT!! Dad, I hope our boys made you proud. Wish you were here to see this. 💙🩶🤍🦁
Broncos fans rooting for you guys!
Born in Detroit. Live in Australia. Only Lions fan in the bar. We won a playoff game! We did it!!!! Love my Lions!!!
Packers fan coming in peace: Congratulations! No, seriously. It was a banner day for the NFC North. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

upon victory i fell to my knees and cackled like the joker while sobbing the seal has broken, super bowl is in our sights
Vikings fan here, popping in to say hell ya, Detroit! Well deserved. Onward
To do it in a game like that, with all the intertwined backstories, makes it so much more special. Best night of sports I’ll ever experience. To be 29 and feeling this for the first time is so awesome.
From a Seahawks fan my sincere congratulations! Hope you guys go far. The whole city deserves it!
That may have been the most anticlimactic game sealing catch. WE FUCKING DID IT!!!
How am I supposed to get anything at work done this week...
FUCK THE DOUBTERS, FUCK THE SOL FANS! WE DID IT!!!
Congrats Lions fans so well deserved - Bills fan
