I cried before, during and after. Not because of what they accomplished but because my dad passed sept 2023 and wasnt with me to watch the game together. We spent many years dealing with the losing but remained die hard fans. Rip poppa and Go Lions!!!❤❤
Oh, we both know he watched that beside you the entire time. I promise.
I didn't cry but damn if it wasn't dusty in my living room.
He was there
Congrats!!
RIP
Dan Campbell has been belittled and mocked. But all he did this year was beat Andy Reid, Sean McVey, and Sean Payton when it mattered, and on the biggest stage. He deserves his due as well. Proud of him.
Who did the belittling and mocking? I've heard nothing but good things about him.
@@JoeVideoedESPN STOOGES
People give him a hard time for the biting knee cap comment, but I don't think anyone who criticized that comment understands that he was saying it within the context of fighting back even when you're down on the ground. It was just a way of saying that.
AGREED
@@JoeVideoedmocked for being aggressive, going for it on 4th down a lot. The biting kneecaps comment in his press conference. The going for two sequence in Dallas.
Longtime Lions fan, not afraid to admit I started to cry when Goff started taking knees at the end. Felt like a 50 pound bag was lifted from my shoulders. To all my fellow Lions fans, this was something truly special. More work to be done, but what a relief to get this win.
We were all crying, my Brother.
Yes! When he took the first knee and raised his arms up, instant tears
I was watching my stepdad who’s a die hard Lions fan, and me, as a Steelers fan, was trying so hard not to tear up when he took the knee at the end. Very emotional
Same here...and my wife saw me and and started bawlin too😂😂
crying reading this haha
A Lions fan since 1966. I feel a thousand pounds lighter today.
Go Lions. First playoff win of my entire life.
Happy for you guys. I think you will get your second next week.
@@Jigman51I would cry again. Yes I'm a b
Same bro😭😭 such a sweet victory for Goff, MCDC, Brad Holmes and the city of Detroit
Lions Culture. They are a team, I don't hear any of them saying "I" am the best, but a lot of "We". They win, lose and celebrate together.
Big Rams fan, I'm happy for Lions, hope they go all the way!
That’s very respectable of you. A lot of rams or just lions haters are crying about refs. I think 2 big ones were non pi call and false start/offsides one on each team taking prob points off the board and balances out.
@@GlennShookI’m been a Rams fan since 1960 except when they went to SLouis, I watched every home game when Dickerson set the rushing record,that said I’ve been rooting for the Lions all season except for yesterday.i hope they go and win the Super Bowl but more I want to see them beat San Francisco
Thanks brother
I always figured that if a team beat my favorite team in the playoffs I'd *MUCH* rather see that victorious team go on to win it all rather than get a petty sense of glee seeing that team 'get blowed out' 😉 in their next game. Better to be beaten by the champions than lose to some pretenders. Good on you. 😋
Yeah, also a Rams fan but I've been following the Lions as a second team this year so this matchup was a bit of a horror scenario. But I don't feel completely gutted that the Rams lost; the end of this season ended up as a total surprise, and we'll be stronger next year (started this season so poorly). But very happy for the Lions' fanbase. Super-tight game, could have gone either way, and that probably makes the win sweeter. Lions, make sure you beat the Niners en route to the SB.
So unreal that we actually won a playoff game. Wasn't sure I'd live to see us win one again (I'm 55). Go LIONS!!!!
I still can't believe it. Genuinely happiness right now. So weird.
Yea same here man ..I'm 57 ....it's been a long time coming
Felt like we won the Super Bowl last night. Let’s go LIONS!
Love dan Campbell
I’m a colts fan but the Lions are my favorite NFC team simply because of the underdog personality they’ve had for so long. I hope they win it all.
Go colts 💙
Man you said it best true underdogs
I have cousins who are Colts fans. Thank you for all the love. 👍👍🤗🤗
Go Colts! Feel the same way about the Lions
The NFC runs through San Fran. As long as they are still in it no one has a claim.
Hutch was held on almost every play.
still cannot believe Jacksonville passed on him
And so was Puka Nacua. difference is the refs gave some offensive holding penalties but no pass interference
@@jonathanmuldrow8458 they called pass interference on Nacua a few times.
The grabbing and holding has been blatant against Hutch all season long
@@denisveneziano7608 they called offensive holding Hutchinson a few times
It’s so crazy that this win ended up being against Stafford.
And Stafford went to the same high school as Bobby Layne. Maybe that's the sign that the curse is finally dead.
@@mattrondeau7466 You all have served your time, go on in peace now - curse free.
If you’re gonna bring up puka getting held, then bring up how the Lions got screwed on the 4th and 5 where they were called for a false start but it was clearly neutral zone/offsides by the Rams. That would’ve gave them 1st and 10 within the 40 yard line but instead made it 4th and 10.
Shall I mention the brutal roughing of Matthew Stafford that wasn't called and should have been? It happens.
We would’ve gone down and scored too. Killed the whole drive.
@@HTHAMMACK1While brutal, no doubt, that hit was definitely caused by incidental contact. The Detroit player fell over onto Stafford, it wasn't an attempt at a tackle.
What about Hutch getting held every single 3rd down?
And Gibbs getting hit late when he was already out of bounds.
From a Bengals fan, congrats to the Lions. I know from experience exactly how you felt last night and how you're feeling now; I honestly thought I'd never live long enough to see a Bengals playoff win, and now we not only have that but a Lions playoff win as well. Best of luck in the playoffs!
So you weren't old enough to watch the 1988/89 run? That was a great side, and the Bengals might have won the whole thing if it weren't for that horrible injury to Tim Krumrie.
As a Rams fan in L.A., I’m happy for the Lions and Goff, both deserve it! I’m just sad it was at the price of my Rams! I will be rooting for them to win it all…Go Lions!
I hope you can at least take the small consolation that there were plenty of us Lions fans rooting for y'all two years ago and cried happy years seeing Stafford get y'all a 'ship.
Literally cried tears of joy. Winning that game was even better than Michigan's Natty a week earlier (and I was a student at Michigan for their last Natty).
So the first Natty was the Natty Daddy and this one was more like Natty Light?
@@user-tn8uu2cu8gI worship one man, and that man is Dan Campbell
Long time Ram fan but hats off to the Lions. I’ve always liked Goff and I’m rooting for them to go to the SB 🤘
Rich ur the man you’ve always been good to Detroit
I'm an eagles fan but am so happy for the Detroit players, coaches, staff, and fans. It's been a long time coming but y'all deserve this. Congratulations!
Thank you!😁
Big respect to you and the eagles. If we meet next week in the division playoff, the game is gonna be FIRE!
Hats off to the Lions. Tough game. I didn’t like the no call on Puka but we’ve certainly benefited from calls over the years. Win some and you lose some. I’ll be pulling for you guys going forward -Ram fan.
Solid
Fair enough. And more respectful than some rams fans. But don’t forget about offsides called false start before half on us taking prob points off the board also.
@@GlennShook yeah that was definitely a miss. I wouldn’t even come close to disrespecting your fan base. I save that for my sworn enemy Niner fans. F them 🤣.
Yeah, it's like in the SB two years ago - we had some soft calls go our way in the final quarter, but the Bengals had got away with that blatant facemask pull on Ramsey by Tee Higgins. So ultimately these blunders tend to even out, even though we all hate them when they happen.
@@KaitainCPS true. I was thinking of the Kupp hold in the final quarter of the SB. It was less of a hold than the one on Puka but you’re right they tend to even out over time.
Became a Lions fan in 1970 at 8 years old when the great Charlie Sanders took my MOD pledge on a local telethon. Grew up in Western U.P. 4 hours north of GB, 6 hours north of MN/StP. Not a lot of Lions fans up there obviously, especially in that era with GB and Bud Grant's Vikings! Took crap for the last 54 years from friends, family, etc. This was a great moment but there's more to do and I believe it can be done!
We earned that win:) Such an amazing game!
You earned the game in Dallas a couple weeks ago as well
@@Cancelthis1541facts
Let’s goo Detroit!! Crazy good story going on here, keep going strong
I recognized the look on Stafford's face at the end of the game. The one that told everyone his game was lost. Go Lions!
The look on McVay's face right after Goff took the first knee. The color drained and and eyes bulged out. I was only thinking Goff was like "You're going to watch."
What I loved about the game us no turnovers, low penalty, one of the greater played games I've seen in a while by both teams.
couldnt sit down the entire game. born in '92. have only seen the lions once in person. it was 2019 and we had -7 total yards in the first quarter. i still cant believe we did it.
Rich is a kindred spirit of any Ann Arbor resident. His Michigan-Jets split, in terms of heartbreak and failure in the biggest moments, has been mirrored by the Michigan-Lions split most of us are a part of here. You just never know if the next regime to come in is actually going to be any different, but I at least knew MCDC was gonna bleed for this team. After the Patricia years that’s all we really needed, but they have blown everything out of the water. A Division title and playoff win in year three of what you could categorize as a full rebuild is just not something that was fathomable for any Lions fan. Here we are, LFG LIONS YEAHHHHH
As a Rams fan, my wallet said bet on the Lions, my heart said the Rams. So happy for you Lions fans and especially Goff. He threw a couple passes that were as good as anyone today or in the history of the NFL could make. Rifle bullets through 4 defenders!
Just think it you have put $2,000 on the 🦁? You can buy a few 🍻
Thanks! Take care of Matthew Stafford. He will always have a place in the hearts of most Lions fans.
@@thewatchmen4920 I did bet on the Lions, straight up
So proud of the Lions! I've been watching them since the early 70s when my Dad introduced me to football. I loved the teams of the early 90s but this one is very special. This team has what the 90s teams didn't - a good owner, a great GM and a head coach who built a culture of toughness and can recognize assistant coaches with talent that can develop players. The new Lions should be good for years to come. Can't wait to see how this ride ends this year!
Finally got my dad to say “I Love You” back to me after that game. What a moment.
That is so awesome , my dad told me on his death bed melted me.
I went to Cal at the same time as Jared Goff and watched every game he played. Huge respect for this guy and he got it done for his new team 🔥
Rams fan here. Congrats to the Lions and their fanbase. Great season and well deserved hard fought playoff win. Really rooting for them to take out the damn 9ers.
That was one of the most physical games I’ve ever seen. Maybe not a game that should be replicated when it comes to brutality but it’s nice to see that we can still get these types of games
Only you talking heads laughed at Campbell's press conference. A majority of us fucking loved every second of it.
Grand Prix press conference with 🏎️ racing helmet
Everybody talks about the Puka tug, but they fail to realize the gawd awful false start penalty on the lions that was a neutral zone infraction by the Rams that could've been points for the Lions. Calls we missed and falsely called on both sides.
i'll agree that most Refs will call that infraction on the defense, but, the rule requires an instant flinch by the offensive guy. These days the play always looks like the O-line guy sees the D-line guy move, thinks about it for a second, then decides "If I move now, that will get us five yards". If he has to think about it, the flag should be thrown against the offense. That makes it a bit of a subjective call, but I don't think the Ref got it wrong last night.
@@Yesquire0the rule doesn’t require an instant flinch if the defensive player is in the neutral zone
@@Yesquire0 Player was in the neutral zone then Decker moved. OFFSIDE RAMS. Probably cost Detroit 7
That was easy offsides call. Come on man. Even expert ref on tv who always try to back them said it was. Cause easy call. Just accept it.
The media is always searching to promote thier narrative that the Rams should of won
Rich I just want to personally say thank you for the love you show the amazing state of Michigan. Anybody from the state understands how amazing it is and to have the state constantly pooped on in the media gets old. Thank you sir!
i just thought about it, jared goff took the rams to the superbowl, and was cast off. bobby layne did the same for the lions, and was cast off. figures the curse would die with that same senario, and of coarse a bathtub full of whiskey, thank you peyton.
Love Staf, glad his injury wasn't serious. Good luck to Matt and the Rams next season from a Lions fan (except the game we play you guys of course.)
Been waiting for this post !
As a lifetime Michigan fan, alum, and also lifetime Lions fan, this is indisputably the best week/year of football in my life. Soak it all in, guys. God damn this year has been fun, and it's still not over
How about the fans!? That crowd noise made the Rams burn some timeouts to avoid delay of game penalities.
Michigan loves Rich Eisen!
As a Lions fan I feel like I am still in a dream....like this isnt even real and im going to wake up. This is the single greatest sporting event to ever happen in my 30 plus years.
A game 70 years in the making. Rest easy, Bobby Layne.
I love your perspectives Rich! Lifelong Lions fan from Michigan- Then Redding for 25 years ‘92-2017 where I became a fan of you.
Ran into Mike Mangus last week while in Redding and we talked about you.
Go Lions 💙💙
Unreal
Eric Smith
one of the first thoughts i had when we won was “i can’t wait to hear Rich Eisen’s take on this”
you never disappoint, Rich!
Im not a lions fan at all but Goff and the lions played in it to win it no matter what.
Respect Goff and the lions. Great job.
The amount of love the Lions get from other fan bases is pretty yo cool to see. Everyone knows we have had it tough and get screwed by the refs. Feels good to win!
Hard to not love the Lions when a guy like Dan Campbell is their "chief of staff".
Even in his first season, in which the team had serious limitations, you could see the players willing to do anything for him, even when they knew that a win was likely to not happen. Because he throws his face for his players too.
Dan might not have the accolades yet, or even the winning record, but he looks (in mannerisms and physically even) like two of the greats this league had, Bill Cowher and Dick Vermeil.
He is hard and hotheaded in the sideline like Cowher and leave his heart in the headset/play chart like Vermeil.
The relationship with the front office cannot be better, they bought his idea of a culture and it's working incredibly so far.
The Lions have lost for too long as well. In every way, manner and result conceivable.
This is a great year for football in the state of Michigan. This is a unique year for the Great Lakes State.
Thanks for actually covering the lions win. Dan patrick and the other talking heads all seemed to have turned off their tvs at 8pm.
It's fantastic. One Pride is Proud!
Die hard Rams fan for 55+ years. Great game. Knew it was gonna be close. I was rooting for the Lions all year...especially when the Rams were crapping the bed early in the season and I thought they had no chance. Rams go on a run, beat the Niners last game of the season to get the 6th seed make the playoffs and have to play the Lions. Kinda a win/win for me.
Obviously I was rooting for the Rams and wanted them to win. Rams D wasn't too good in the first half...great in the second half. Rams offense moved the ball, but did not score TD's in the red zone when it counts. Detroit scored 3 TD's in the red zone while their D kept the Rams out of the end zone when it counted. That was the bottom line. Not any no call or stupid penalties.
Yes...Puka got held that last play but the refs would never call that at that point in time. No way. Heck, the way the refereeing is now, they might not have even seen it. That is how poor of a job these refs are going these days. NFL needs younger, full time refs. But that's another story.
If you told me in October the Rams would be in a playoff game against the Lions, down by 1 point with the ball late in the 4th quarter with a chance to win the game, I would have taken that all day long. Go Lions !
Missed call for the lions cost us points. They called false start when it was CLEARLY the defense that jumped offsides.
Rich,I was a young kid watching Jack Dempsey kick the 62 yd field goal to beat the Lions. I've lived through it all. This was a great win for all Lions fans!!!
Tom Dempsey
Your right....dang ..long time ago.. was thinking about all the heartbreak over the years.
Ugh, I remember that field goal like it was yesterday!!!
When he made that field goal I can remember my father was devastated.
Last week was the craziest week of sports of all time bar none. Belichek Carrol and Saban all retire the same week U of M wins a National Championship and the Detroit Lions win a home playoff game.
What an amazing year for Michigan sports fans. Two Michigan sports teams have made me cry in the past week!
Thank you RE!!!!!
I knew Dan Campbell was for real at his first ever team press comfrence. I seen that this guy was all about smashmouth football and wanted to build a great team. And he has. Cudos to Detroit.
I watched the 3 year process I knew we would be here
GO LIONS 🦁🏉
GO BLUE 💙🏆🏈
I'm 47 years old. My 3 kids have witnessed one less playoff win than I have. Crazy. Go Lions!!!
Keep it rolling Lions! You can’t be stopped!
I am so very happy for the Lions right now! It has been such a long time coming. And I say that as a lifelong Packers fan who happens to be living in Kansas City. No team is entitled to victory and success, but when a team like the Detroit Lions finally turns it around, gets it right, and looks like they could actually make it to the Super Bowl…You have to just grin and clap and cheer them on. I grew up hating the Bears and the Vikings, But I could never quite get that much anger aimed at the Lions…. Wouldn’t it be crazy if the NFC championship was Packers versus Lions?
I'm a Pats fan who was rooting for the Lions and nearly lost my mind when the refs called "offsides" against the Lions. All I could think of was the robbery the Lions suffered by the refs against the Cowboys.
Jared Goff is getting tougher mentally and it shows. Credit the head coach for pushing his QB, and getting Goff to deal with the pressure by putting the ball in his hand at every opportunity.
I feel like in all of the sports commentary I am listening to today I am not hearing enough praise for Jared Goff. Jared was traded to the Lions a few years ago to basically replace Matt in NFL purgatory/ 🔥🤬 but instead of dying Jared excelled . Even this clip seem to discuss other things & less praise of Jared accomplishment. I am an 🦅 fan & if we crash & burn tonight I am rooting for the Lions.
He managed to accomplish in three years what Stafford was unable to do in a decade. That doesn't mean Stafford was bad, obviously not, but Goff deserves more respect for that than he will get
Michigan wins the national championship, the lions win a playoff game ,man what a great year for football in michigan .
Been a fan since 1975. This is tremendous. Talking about the non penalty with Puka. How about the non neutral zone infraction by the Rams that made Decker jump in the first jalf that ended the Lions drive? That could have been a touchdown drive, or at least a field goal by the Lions.
Is this what winning feels like, Dad? 👨👦🦁
I wouldn’t know son
That was easily the most compelling game of the weekend.
I cried when we won as well I was so happy I absolutely love this team & my city. I was 3 the last playoff win we had
I was there last night, it was really, really special man. So loud. Chants for Detroit and Jared Goff were plenty. Brings joy to my heart.
I hadn't met my wife the last time the Lions won a playoff game. We lived 1200 miles apart. Now that our grandson is in 2nd grade, they won another one!
The Lions are a team that deserves to get a call to go their way after YEARS of being screwed in big moments. Rooting for them to win it all.
Thanks RICH LETS GOOOOOOO LIONS 🦁💪 🦁
The last lions playoff victory I was 5 years old,(which I don’t remember) the last Michigan championship I was 10… we were long over due up here!
I've no skin in the post season this year, however being an NFL fan for over 40 years the romantic in me would love a Bills v Lions SB.
Rams fans should be proud too: from a 4 win projected team, to 3-6, to competing with a legit contender in an away game. We would have destroyed Dallas, that’s for sure!
I'm a Raider, but I always loved The Lions. Was a huge fan of Barry Sanders.........The Best, EVER! Great job guys!
BEST WEEK EVER IN MICHIGAN!!!!!
Crazy, nobody even mentions the bad calls that keep the Lions on the outside looking in.
I’m soaking it all in Rich!
Long overdue and we are here to stay!
Right after the big trade, the majority of wag opinions were to the effect that the Lions really didn't want Goff but had to take his contract in order to make the trade work. Goff was seen as not only garbage, but expensive garbage the Lions might have to pay somebody to take down to the curb. Then some of the coaches, after talking to Goff and seeing him perform on the field began saying, much to the surprise of Lions' fans, that Goff was actuallly a very good QB, and that the Lions didn't need to draft some hot shot who would be mainly lost for a couple of years as a starting QB. It took a while for Goff to show his stuff. He confesses now that his confidence was shredded by McVay out in Los Angeles, and his psyche had to be rebuilt by his coaches and teammates in Detroit. He is, in fact, and has demonstrated now for 1.5 seasons, that he is a legit NFL QB in the prime of his career. We are lucky to have him leading the Lions and happy to pay his salary.
Spartan fan but huge Hutchinson fan since he got here, couldn't believe he didn't go first in the draft. Even if the defense struggles there's a real feeling that somebody can make a play now.
Stafford was very good but Goff was better in this game. That was the ultimate difference. Stafford was being pressured heavily while Goff had some time to throw in the first half. I give Stafford credit for keeping them in it in the first half and making it a game in the end but it wasn't enough.
That was the best i have ever seen Stafford play in Detroit- but his record against teams above .500 in Detroit is 9-71, so odds were he just couldn’t win it
Rich, I saw a photo of a young fan at the game, perhaps six years old. The kid is wearing a Lions jersey, Michigan hat, and eating a slice of pizza that's bigger than his entire head. I couldn't help but think that this kid, A) is having the best week of his life, and B) the kid has no idea how massive this is, because he hasn't been alive to see how bad it has been.
I wondered if you had seen this photo yet too, and if you had thoughts of your own!
I was dissapointed in lions fans booing Stafford when he was kissing his kids at the start of the game plus sheering when he got hurt and when every ram got hurt.
I get booing him before game. Gotta show total love to current team. Can boo but still love him. He did ask to leave remember. I didn’t catch cheering injured cheering now that isn’t cool but didn’t hear it. Everyone who knows him knows he will play thru anything so wouldn’t matter.
You , Klatt and Cowherd are my favs Rich . Go Blue
The fans were loud af even through the TV that was awesome .
I still have a christmas ornament that says "Restore the Roar"
Mark my words: Detroit Lions 🦁 will win the NFC Divisional Championship and Conference Championship. Let’s do this Rich Eisen!
As far as holding Puka, I seem to recall a “false start” in the first half called against the Lions when it was actually the Rams who jumped first. That thwarted their scoring drive which they were rolling over the Rams at that point. So there’s enough crappy or missed calls to go around.
I attended all those games in the first half of the year when the Atlanta Braves were dead last and hadn't been a good team in years. They ended up taking the pennant and from that point on - have remained perennial champions ever since.... the 90's. This is what I am seeing with my Detroit Lions.
Didn't see Sean McVay congratulate Goff after the game!!!!!!
Good point
there were a lot of non calls on both side, which tell me, they were letting them play, unless it was outrageous.
Greetings from Tampa (ex Westland MI) - was more like Restore The Snore back then hehe
After 53 years of wanting my Lions to establish a winning culture. I do believe we are there. We Won quit saying would of should of could of. If it wasn’t for the Refs screwed the pooch on the call where’ the Rams were off sides we could of had more points. And it wouldn’t he been even that close. Great job Lions 💥💙.

I cry last nite it was so special to me n my father I'm getting 😢now thinking about it lol love this team with all my ❤
