My 14 year old son and I lit sage and danced around the room calling on all the past Lion fans and players spirits to help us finish it. We did this just seconds before Amon Ra caught that dagger of a first down.
Best win of my life. 47 years old and big wins and the lions are rare. Even better I got to take my son, daughter and wife who shared the moment with me.
My dad passed away last March. He was a big Lions and Wolverines fan and told me in January that next year will be a special year in football in this town. Boy was he right. I wish I could be celebrating with him right now but sharing this with him in a different way. Let's go get it Lions!
This is second for me to the first Red Wings Stanley Cup. I teared up when the Wings won that first Stanley because I never thought in all of those Yzerman years leading up to that that they would ever get over that hump. This is second to the first Stanley Cup and it's one Wild Card game. Also, I'm a lifelong Michigan fan and this hit harder than the natty. If the Lions win the NFC Championship or dare I say it... I don't know how I am going to feel.
Never been in a crowd like that, unforgettable experience. Happy to say I’ve seen the lions win a playoff game for the first time in my life! Now let’s go get some more!!
When the Rams had the ball and they were marching down the field, my head immediately brought up the Lions games I had seen dozens and dozens of times. Have a late lead, only to lose to a last second field goal. ...and then it didn't happen. I am still riding the high from Sunday night. I hope Ford Field is loud enough this weekend that I can hear it in Virginia. Go Lions.
It's great to see the young folks enjoy an important game. I vividly remember when the '68 Tigers won the World Series. I just mustered out of the infantry then & a lot of buddies were still in Nam. Ask the old-timers. Man, what a party that was especially after the '67 Riot. The city really came together to celebrate. I think for the Lions the best is yet to come. Savor it.
My Uncle died last year. When he was healthy sometime before dying, he talked about how he couldn’t wait until the start of the 2023 NFL season. He and I both knew the Lions were going to be good. He didn’t live to see it 😢
2:42 Mike got me choking on my oatmeal this morning. My step dad said for 20 years he would die before the Lions won another playoff game. He passed away in the fall of 2022. I've been wearing his old Lions hat all season. I wish he were here to see it.
To be fair, Detroit cheered Stafford even after he chose to leave and win with the Rams. He of all people should understand how much winning meant to the city.
The fans made it clear. They have turned the page. That night was all about Jared Goff. Even the boos for Stafford were not specifically about him. It was all about letting Goff know that he’s our guy. The other guy is just a QB for another team.
Personally: 1.) Wings cup in ‘97 2.) MSU Rose Bowl ‘14 3.) That Lions win on Sunday 4.) Magglio ALCS walk-off ‘06 5.) Tiger Woods Masters ‘19 (I know this isn’t regional, but it got me right in the feels)
THANK YOU. Mike you nailed it on the Kelly S take. so tired of her running her mouth. have you ever heard of an NFL player's wife being in the news this much? NO. I can't tell you the first name of ANY other NFL player's wife.
I'm a 61 year old life long Lions fan, I've lived within 25 miles of Detroit my entire life. This to me is the biggest win in my lifetime. Yes we made it to the NFC championship game by winning one game in 91 but everyone knew that was as far as we could go, no one believed we could beat Washington. There was a sense of that was as good as we could get. This time we expect to beat the Bucs for a second playoff win and I don't think the 49ers are a lock to make the SuperBowl. Why not us? Also this time you get the feeling this is still just the beginning for this team, we should be in the hunt for the forseeble future with the culture shift that has FINALLY happened. Go Lions! Go Goff!
Beating a good team that was playing a good game. This sets your plate to win other games that are a chess match. Grit wins games. The Detroit Lions are perhaps the best situational football team in the NFL. Not the most talented team but the team that has a whole playbook available in game determining situations. Third down, fourth down, and goal to go situations, no one is more prepared. No one has played there playbook in game situations than the Lions. No situation will phase this team. They may lose but not because they weren’t prepared. They have limitations in the secondary but they play tough red zone defense. Go Lions.
The Lions were definitely disrespected by all the Rams picks from sports media, but the game ended 23-24. It’s not like there weren’t concrete reasons to pick the Rams and they were almost right.
It was loud around 110-120 decibels during the whole game and the Goff chants were AWESOME, but it didn't get as loud as I expected or as others say it did in my opinion
It didn’t sound much different than other packed Detroit games on the TV broadcast. It certainly didn’t sound like the Silverdome playoff clips, however there’s about 20,000 less seats in Ford Field. It was definitely rocking, but I think the hype from our fans all season has spoiled us. The chants 30 minutes before kickoff was definitely different, but once the ball is snapped I think Ford Field has been a playoff atmosphere all season long.
@dannye7612 I went to the Panthers, Falcons, Raiders, Broncos, & Vikings game and this past one was as loud as MNF against the Raiders, but wasn't noticeably louder. It was just more consistent throughout the game against the Rams
@@cameron3934it didn’t sound that loud on TV. Meaning not deafening. I used to go to the Silverdome and it was 80,000 screaming. Unreal. One game the Lions got a 5 yard penalty b/c the QB literally could not snap the ball. That’s as loud as it gets.
@@cameron3934you cannot tell how loud it was from video and audio clips lol. What a dumb assertion. I was there and took videos with my iPhone. Listening back to them it doesn’t sound at all like it was actually being there
Anywhere I've traveled across the country, I've always said the Detroit Lions for close to 50 years had an inherent venue advantage. Mike, imagine Giants Stadium at it's fandom peak with a teflon roof. That was the Silverdome. And this resource was wasted. That baffling.
Rocco...it does absolutely work that way lol. Its sports. You boo the opposing team home slice. Yoh especially boo their quarterback if he used to play for you and couldnt get it done.
@@completethoughts Aidan was drafted in 2022, Carter in 2023. What Rico said was that the Lions could have and should have drafted Jordan Davis instead of Jamo (Davis was drafted next,) and drafted Carter instead of trading down and drafting Gibbs (although I'm not sure he stands behind that idea any more.) I could maybe see the Davis thing (when it was announced that the Lions had traded up I had thought that they'd be picking Davis, but instead they got Jamo and I was like...hmm...and only because Jamo was hurt at the time.) And I can even have the conversation with Rico about taking Carter not trading down and taking Gibbs because Montgomery has been SO good but the Defensive line (especially Carter's position) still needs help...although I LOVE Gibbs and am SO glad he's on the team.
I'm 60yrs old, so glad I was able to go to the game. My ears were hurting and I still do not have my voice back. It was so worth it! I loved it!! I have never seen the stadium/fans like that!🩵💙 Let's Go Lions💙🩵 One Pride💙🩵
Rico so what he just lost ….how about show some class even in defeat even if he was mad, these fans were ridiculous supportive of him mr. King of Stat guy when he played for the Lions just like this game, he never did finish in the red zone. Nothing new there for 12 years he played here go watch film.
My husband didn't make it, he passed in 2021. Lions fan since 1960 when he was 6 years old. But I was there in his place. And always will be.
😢😢😢 Go Lions
My brother didn't make it, died in 2020, devoted fan from 1960.
He is with my dad looking on with joy.
That is beautiful ma’am. God bless you
My 14 year old son and I lit sage and danced around the room calling on all the past Lion fans and players spirits to help us finish it. We did this just seconds before Amon Ra caught that dagger of a first down.

The sum of this team is greater than any individual part. Sound familiar anyone. Reminds me of the 04 Pistons. Buckle up everyone, gonna be epic 🙌🏆

My thoughts are with you. My Uncle passed on December 26th. He wasn't a big fan but always liked hearing from me that they won. 🦁💙🤍
@@midniteoilfilms thanks 🙏🏾
What an amazing day it was. 3 more to go baby!! #ONEPRIDE

I have been to the Red Wings playoffs since 1997 and the Tigers World Series twice...this was on a different level and was an incredible experience.
To be fair, Detroit cheered Stafford even after he chose to leave and win with the Rams. He of all people should understand how much winning meant to the city.
The fans made it clear. They have turned the page. That night was all about Jared Goff. Even the boos for Stafford were not specifically about him. It was all about letting Goff know that he’s our guy. The other guy is just a QB for another team.
The look, feel, and vibe of the team’s game day production was way better than what was produced for Thanksgiving.
Personally:
1.) Wings cup in ‘97
2.) MSU Rose Bowl ‘14
3.) That Lions win on Sunday
4.) Magglio ALCS walk-off ‘06
5.) Tiger Woods Masters ‘19 (I know this isn’t regional, but it got me right in the feels)
Maggie walk off was GOATED
My father was there in 1957 the year I was born put a smile on my face for my old man RIP pop ! Now I’m the old guy lol
Died at "Nobody booed your kids, Kelly!"
My dad passed in’93, but if he was still alive I would’ve taken him to the game.
THANK YOU. Mike you nailed it on the Kelly S take. so tired of her running her mouth. have you ever heard of an NFL player's wife being in the news this much? NO. I can't tell you the first name of ANY other NFL player's wife.

How sweet it’d be if the Lions beat the team Rico jumped ship for to go to the SB lol
Wow these 2 sparties have taken a timeout from their UM obsession...
A Lions fan since 1965. Huah!
Wish I could be there to experience that energy

Mans said No Rose Bowl from 87 to 2013 😂😂😂
Without that clutch field goal by MBadgley, we lose. Salute to Badgley.
Remember when both of them picked the Rams?? I do, what next picking the Bucs??
Thank god for a Rob Harvenstein holding call, to be fair that was narrow as a win gets! But at the end of day we did just enough
I sure do... Just like they also did against the broncos..
#neverforget
If it means a Lions win, yes!
👌🏾😩
@@noah.conleyNarrow win with a possession stolen by refs. Don't forget that.

It was the ultimate win. The only thing that could possibly be better would be the Super Bowl.
4:34 packers fan here. Trust me. It’s never a given. I’m happy for Detroit tho. But one game at a time people lol
Robertos laugh in the back is great
I hope we can play Rico's 49ers Fo Lions!
Lions vs 49ers in the NFC Championship!!! 💯🙌🦁💙🩶🤍

Hail! 〽️🏆
+1 for the unexpected Dean scream
Bucs are going to be a tough game.
Rocco...it does absolutely work that way lol. Its sports. You boo the opposing team home slice. Yoh especially boo their quarterback if he used to play for you and couldnt get it done.
Rico didn't realize kelly Stafford was on thr field before the game lol does he even watch the games??
Rico thinks we should have drafted Jalen Carter over Aidan Hutch. He has ZERO credibility!!

@@aliwantizu Thank you for your clarification.
To be fair we still haven't played a game to our full potential. Lookout Bucs.

told ya mike :)
Its changing
But the whole culture flip can be complete if they succeed the encore in 2024
Screw Stafford he wanted out so bad in Detroit turned his back on us hell yeah boo that man Jarod Goff is my qb
Rico you confident 21-14 4 minutes at home? Ricooooo
Hard to beat a team twice so im expecting a dog fight GO LIONS
Remember on Friday when they said LaPorta wouldn't play lol they are so out of touch with this team
My grandpa didn't make it 2017
Yes they picked the Rams and now they probably will both pick the the buccaneers. Rico or Mike have no faith in the Lions!
u can be confident but DO NOT get cocky like dallas did
Every single playoff game besides lions rams was a blowout. It's not rare and lions will absolutely destroy tampa
Rico so what he just lost ….how about show some class even in defeat even if he was mad, these fans were ridiculous supportive of him mr. King of Stat guy when he played for the Lions just like this game, he never did finish in the red zone. Nothing new there for 12 years he played here go watch film.
Dude, you lived in Detroit 20 years? Then, why aren’t you a Lions fan?
Last time they won a playoff game they lost the next week. Nice win but it could be 30 years before we see another one.
I hope the refs are on there side again, wouldn’t have one it without you guys thanks.
mike knock it out yes those idiots were booing her and her kids and her podcast is not low rent gtfoh
Raise the flags ..... Let's go Buc's!!!
I was there, it was beyond electric.
That non call on the holding was make up for decades of the Lions getting screwed by the refs and the league
