- Sunday, January 21, 2024 was pure euphoria for Lions fans, who waited more than three decades to see their team punch their ticket to the NFC Championship.
Relive history as to how I saw it, and stay to the end for how I covered it!
#OnePride #Lions
Being from the Windsor Ontario area, i am so happy for the great city of Detroit.
You guys deserve it
Go Lions
Ryan
Question? Do the border agents give you Hell when trying to come over to the US part??
@@boogitybear2283 Not usually
Thanks, neighbor.
They choked as usual
The best part of this film was seeing the fans after the game. They were hugging, dancing, and high fiving strangers. That’s sheer joy.
Dude filmed history so we could live it
History didn't last long
@@chosen1one930that’s because it’s still being written!!!
Be sure to tune into the draft this weekend, it’s DETROIT’S TIME!!!
WE’LL BE IN THE SUPER BOWL THIS YEAR, MARK MY WORDS!!!
@@chosen1one930it isn’t over yet it is just starting
@@chosen1one930it’s still being written, last year was just the start 😂😂
@@BENABARE and look where you guys are now. As a Hawks fan I was lowkey terrified to come up against Detroit this year, especially given how mental the last 2 meetings were. I couldn't care less about fighting for the same conference at the minute or any rivalries. If Geno's injured we're all but done for the season anyway. I genuinely wanna see the Lions in the SB this year, it's a very fun turnaround to be watching as a football fan in general. Shit, DC makes me even want to go to war for him whenever he speaks, and I'm not even American lmao
These guys are the real America’s team. Literally every fan, including division rival fans, root for them. Detroit Lions = America’s team 🇺🇸 🦁
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Everyone is rooting for them because they never do anything LOL and it would be cool to see them win, it's a great story. Who doesn't love a great story? Just based off sales alone the Cowboys still have the largest fan base "hard to believe" but it's true. I cannot imagine that holding up for much longer.
WTF are you kidding? Patriots or Steelers would be America's Team, one that was won a Bunch of Super Bowls. Like to see you cry when 49ers beat the Lions. They likely will. They got the experience in their favor.
LOL this is not about how many Superbowls you have won. it's about how much merchandise you sell. Logically the more sales the more fans you have, would be silly to think every Cowboy fan is a muti millionaire that just buys way too much merchandise that outweighs every other team. I am not going to cry about the outcome of this game because I don't care. If anything I agree with you lol why so angry? @@jimnfl7134
@jimnfl7134 Well. we've had 66 years of losing, so we can handle it if they don't win Sunday, and yeah, they're not America's team, they're Detroit's team, win or lose.
@@jimnfl7134experience? Purdy looked like shit against greenbay 😂
As a long suffering Falcons fan, there's nothing I'd love to see more than another long suffering franchise finally catch their big break this year. THE REST OF AMERICA IS BEHIND YOU DETROIT, GO LIONS!
Same with the cowboys 😂
@@Kevin-cg7vcaccept for the fact that the sport of bull riding is where actual cowboys reride not those guys with the silver and blue helmets who claim to be
Nah at least we have experienced the Super Bowl even though we choked it away 😂
Well my comment aged like milk left out in Florida sunshine.....
Yooo Falcons fan here too,I was rooting for the Lions
i was there, drove 6 hours from rochester NY through a snow storm to watch these kings make history 💙💪
Way to go!!!
Much love from Detroit my brotha!
Shout out the ROC. 585
Took my fiancé too her first ever lions game that day and I tell you I’ll remember that moment forever! The greatest lions game of both of our lives!!
From a Packer fan from NE Wisconsin, I'm so proud of you all!
Blessings 🙏🏾
Thank you very much
I hope you are kidding!
Bear Down 🐻 Packers and Lions suck
The Motor City, where we love Sports, Music and Cars!!! Detroit Rock City!!!!! 🦁🦁🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉....
This is priceless. It'll be a time machine someday for Lions fans. So perfectly filmed. Like actually being there. All the pomp and pageantry you miss on the tv broadcast.
I live in Chicago now but used to go to games all the time. Thanks for this
You bet
Charle
This Steelers fan is cheering you on! Detroit, y'all enjoy it! You deserve it! GO LIONS!
thank you....all aboard!
There's nothing like sports to bring people together. It's the only thing we have left; every other venue and venture in life seems to pull people apart - but sports bails us out! I love it! Black, White, Asian, Spanish, doesn't matter - everyone is getting hugged, a high five, a smile, it's beautiful what sports can do
Well said & appreciated...Amen! 🤗🌟🦁🤍🏈💙🙏🏻
This city deserves this moment!!! It's a great feeling and I will be rooting for the LIONS!!!!
It is a great feeling this city deserves it and I dont care win or lose Sunday i love my city and all the people in it. Detroit vs Everybody baby!!!
@@JDfrom313 hopefully your team can win it all! Rooting for the Lions 🦁
Respect, thank you! 🤗🌟🦁🤍🏈💙🙏🏻
Right to the locker room they choked and will in 2024 too lol
@m42037 get a jib. Or do you even have one?
Browns fan here. I am so happy for you Lions fans and am cheering you on to a Super Bowl win!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@m42037 Ur comment won't age well now that we're 12-1 XD
Bruh, I cry everytime I watch a lions playoff video
Me too man, me too. Been a long long time coming. I'm so proud I don't even care if we lose the chip, I'm hyped for our future.
So you must not really cry that often
1st time you cried in 30 years? Lol jk jk, all in jest
They've only had a couple since the Eisenhower administration not much crying lol
As a chiefs fan, would not be disappointed if they take it all. We are all detroit fans this year
Thanks for sharing!!! ❤❤❤
GO LIONS!!!
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

i love this team
Because they are the ultimate underdogs. 2024 is gonna be the year of the underdogs become the Champs and make history , well they already have🦁🏆🦁
Let’s fuckinggggg goooooo Detroit vs Everybody 313 baby!!! I will literally cry if Lions make the Super Bowl 🥹 Thanks for sharing your footage I love my city.
Hi Friends, from a die hard, Saints season ticket holder, I'm loving this for y'all. A WONDERFUL FEELING !!!
AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!! GO LIONS!!!
Robert
Not only did he film this, he did a good job capturing how LOUD it was in there.
I was at this game, section 121, row 11, seats 1 & 2. Definitely worth it to live a small peice of history.
GO lions!💙
God Bless all my friends in my home town..thanks Dan, Mrs. Ford, and Goff,- the miracle of the Lions team
Joe
I was honored to witness history in Section 242! What an Epic experience that was!
Born and raised MI. Have a Batch signed jersey when I met him. One time old stadium visit. One time new stadium visit. This vibe is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Being a lifelong Seahawks Fan and suffering thru years of disappointment to finally reach the topper most of the popper most is such an AMAZING feeling that I wish all you Lions fans get to experience. GO LIONS!!!!
Well done to you Lions for your achievement this season shame you couldn’t have won the superbowl from a Seahawks fan your team has a bright future ahead of you good luck from me 🤩👍
Seahawks have had playoffs and chip......not even close.
As an eagle fan since the 90s. I really am pulling for Detroit to win it. Yall are pumped now, but for real that feeling of seeing your team win it all is something you can’t replace.
Derrick
FEELS LIKE I'M THERE!!
Love the raw footage shown, thanks David!
This is so special for Detroit fans who have waited a lifetime to celebrate this team win. I was a little kid going to games with my Dad and Grandfather at the Pontiac Silverdome. Before that it was Briggs Field (Tiger Stadium). Unreal. Go Lions!
Thank you for this video. It made me feel like I experienced it in person!
Dude, thank you for this. I’m literally in tears right now looking at this greatness! OH MY GOFF!!
Amazing shots. It's like being there.
Literally put my air pods and and i literally felt like I was there. Thanks for this dude
That was awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
13:22 , that young lady has a bright future ahead of her. She clearly understood the assignment.
DETROIT!!!! I WAS ROOTING SO HARD FOR YOU GUYS !!! I love rooting for the underdog, plus I'm a Barry Sanders fan from back in the day. If all stays healthy .... Y'all will be BACK !!!
John
@@EvelynLogan-od7zc Yes Madam, how may i help you?
Sending Lotsa Lion Love from America's Finest City to The Motor City ! This gave me chills. To the team, fan's, friends, and the city of Detroit ! Best of Luck...Grit ! Go Lions !!!
Frank Jonna rolling with that secret elixir of youth!
What I always loved about Ford field, especially when it first opened we were only about not even an hour north, and we would go to games and it was so cool because they built it like a big Plaza mezzanine, you could walk right in at ground level from the street and you were at that mezzanine level. And they always had big huge concourses in the corners and the walking room even around the whole stadium what's plenty, so you didn't really have to bump in and smash around. I mean go look at like Spartan Stadium under the grandstands it's a freaking joke. And of course at Michigan you don't have anything to walk around, you're out in the open and and succuming to the weather elements when you leave your seat to go up. So it was really cool the way they built Ford Field, you didn't really have to do anything with stairs or anything to get in and walk around and eat and all of the clubs and bars and gift shops and just really cool stuff.
Again, I've been saying Spartan Stadium needs to build a brand new place, and do it right. I can't believe when we would go to games there, and there would be over 70,000 people and it was just crammed and crowded trying to walk around. And at michigan, there's no cover or anything when you walk around. 😅

"Goff takes a knee"; the most beautiful phrase in football!
I didn't sit too far from these guys at 10:50. They were hyping up a lot of the people around them. I really like how even though you had box seats you came down into the crowd to see how everyone was celebrating together. It was something I will never forget that is for sure. I have never experienced a roar of a crowd that loud ever, especially at Ford Field. I had to put in ear plugs, but I could still feel the noise in my chest. Lions fans, 1 more game, then we claim the superbowl.
We here in Detroit are over the moon!!!!! Go Lions, RIP them up!! There ain't no party like a Detroit Party!!! 🎉🎉... 💪💪💪👊👊👊... 💙🤍💙🤍💙!!!!! Dan Campbell, bad ass, Coach of the Year!!!! 🏈🏈.....
Now THAT’S a home field advantage! A Super Bowl and A Natty in the same year would be a Dream Come True!
John
Great job ! What a boost for our city 🦁🎉
In Hawaii for many years now but I played football for Edsel ford and were huge lions fans here in Honolulu blue!
As a seatlle fan, im loving seeing the 32 year drowning seasons coming to an end. Regardless jared goff and dan are transforming this program..FINALLY!
Actually it's 66 years of waiting to win the big one. if that happens I'm not sure how we'll handle it, we may all explode 😂
I doubt I'll ever get a seat at Ford Field. Thank you for filming this 💙
Love the atmosphere at Ford Field! Thanks for the vid!
DUDE lmao the REPORTER at the end LOOKS like BUZZ in HOMEALONE
😂 I’ll take it! 🤣🤣
many blessings getting that win at NFC CHAMPIONSHIP I think the entire nation is CHEERING for you guys @@DavidHorakTV
Jonathan
Nothing but chills the whole video
Aidan living every little kids fantasy and its great to see!
They broke the decibel record again at 134.4 decibels!
Thanks so Much this is the video I been looking for TY
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!🥲
You're so welcome!
Thank you, David.
Thank you for documenting!
I'm going to show my age here, but Phil Collins summed it up best....I've been waiting for this moment...all my life...
Paul
As a Bucs fan I was disappointed in the game. However, that crowd was freaking INSANE!!! I can only imagine what a Championship game in Ford Field would be like
Nice to see, after Ford Field was practically empty all of those losing years. But hey, let's ALL hop on the bandwagon now!!!!
Bills fan here. Absolutely love all of this. I can speak for Buffalo and say we were rooting for y'all all the way. Fellow rust belt city, die hard fans. That's respect
A sincere thank you for taking the time out of your game day expeirence to film it all. Very grateful. So cool and historic.
I'm a Packers fan and Wisconsinite, but rooting so hard for the Lions. Let's go Midwest!
i tear up every time i watch this video
Soooo loud, love it! The broadcast muted it so bad
What a GREAT party. Thanks for sharing!!! #OnePrideProud
Cinderella man playing before the game is so fucking thematically appropriate bro I’m losing it
Jay
Excellent video. Great work.
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm lucky enough to have front row seats right behind the Lions bench, tickets have been in my family since the early 1950s! My dad is 84 now and in poor health but I am so happy we were at the Rams game (we couldnt go to the Tampa game), but it was a great experience! I hope he gets to see them win a Superbowl in his life time. :)
One of the better stadiums too. Loved Ford Field.
Chris
The Ford Motor family has owned them for 60 years. They are getting closer to going to a Superbowl. Hopefully next year. Were in good position as a big Underdog vs 9ers. But the coach refused to take 3 points.
DETROIT 98 VS SAN FRANCISCO 3 GO LIONS VAMOS LEONES HI FROM MEXICO
On several videos, i have mentioned this reminds me of the Cubs in '16 and how most of the nation wanted Chicago to win. Because it had been so long since Detroit was a good team. Cheers and best of luck from a Green Bay Packers fan!
As a Cowboys fan, I'm happy to see it. Good on the Lions, man. It's fun when Detroit succeeds.
Like others said, I see y'all as America's team!
I'm a Cowboys fan, so I know a lot about struggle. But, we still have 5 superbowls and no franchise has had more futility than the Lions. Nope, not even the Bills nor Vikings. I'm extremely happy for all Lions fans and I hope y'all make the superbowl
Y’all suck ass 🤣
L 😂
@@frederickg3302 For the 69ers
Cowgirls
Those loud ass cheers for Hutch. Mah boi is LOVED
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Let's go Lions ❤ I love y'all
THIS is what winning FEELS like!!! 😇😛😛
genuinely hope they win big this yr
THIS IS A PART OF HISTORY
I've never been more nervous about a team I'm not technically a fan of. I feel like I'm watching my Giants on the road to the Super Bowl in '07/'11, and I'm just as scared for tomorrow's game vs SF as I was when we won there in early 2012 to punch our ticket. GO LIONS
Long time NYG fan here, and that game against SF is an immortal game in our hearts. Just like the one in Jan 1991..."And the Giants have the ball!"
AMAZING VIDEO
Thanks!
It was like that in every bar in Metro Detroit, too. I was out, had one of the best nights in a long time that night, and not just cus the Lions won. I've never heard a bar so loud in my life and I went to 3 different ones that were all WILD.
Imagine the atmosphere if they had an outdoor stadium.
William
honestly...thank you for the footage
Freaking Hero. Make sure to book your tickets to Vegas so we get to be there with ya 😅😂
I'm a Packer's fan and I not only wish for but anticipate that the Dan Campbell & Jared Goff led Detroit Lions will not only beat the forty niners but will go on to represent the NFC North in the Super Bowl. God Bless.
Respect, thank you... Amen! 🌟🦁🤍🏈💙🙏🏻
I don't know if you are a professional, but great, I mean camera work.👍🏾👍🏾
Got me crying for Lions😢🎉🎉🎉
Eagles fan here pulling for the lions. You have waited long enough.
11:15 this dude is a 50+ year season ticket holder? What's his secret to staying youthful? 😮
11:18 how is he a 50+ year season ticket holder? He doesn't even look half of 50.
I'm a die hard fan but lets take it one game at a time go lions
Packers fan and I rooted for yall vs the Rams, the Bucs, and the 49ers.
GO WIN IT ALL.
Such a wonderful city. I hope they make history.
Here after that crazy victorious Texans win! Superbowl here we come 🎉 💙
seeing my city happy makes me happy
