First NFC North title ever. Finally get to say the Lions are Division Champs! What a time to be alive. Edit: To everyone resorting to "names", and being upset that I correctly stated first time NFC North Champs, I want to thank you for giving me a chuckle. From an NFL nerd, thank you for this gift on Christmas and stay insufferable. I'm sure you are the most fun person at parties and everyone loves your company.
@user-ii8oyqg2t Blah blah blah blah. WTF are you talking about, nerd? Huh? Lions overcame their struggles and ended their 30 year divisional drought. It’s a magic moment for this NFC Northern team. 🤣
Born in 86. Grew up watching Barry and saw all of Hanson, Stafford and Megatron. This team... This is the team. This is the team that can do it. They can keep breaking curses. And they can make the Lions a team to be respected. Not laughed at. Damn proud of this team.
Pretty much same as you. Born in ‘82. Privileged to have gotten to watch Barry run. Suffered through the years. This win is fantastic. Scary thing for all the other teams: this team will only get scarier. Pair up Holmes’ amazing draft prowess with the fact Gibbs, LaPorta, and Branch are only rookies? Imagine how good these three will be next year or 3 years from now.
Hell yeah, thanks man. You got our boy Crosby, always rooting for him too. Appreciate the support bro--so many Detroiters/Michiganders have waited so freakin long for rhis--makes it that much sweeter. Love all the props from other teams fans, it's been amazing. God luck to you guys in the future too
Congratulations Detroit from a Bears fan. Much deserved and earned. Hoping that the Bears can get their stuff together so we can have an actual rivalry. In my 45 years I have yet to remember a time when both teams were good at the same time. But for now this is your turn and I’m thrilled for you guys. Will be rooting you on to the SB 💯✊🏽
@@joesmith8725 yea you’re right. And that’s sad. We’ve had true rivalries in the other sports, but not so much in football. Hopefully that’s coming. When done respectfully, Detroit/Chicago rivalries can be fun and intense.
@@chicity78 True, I agree and thanks! Its been a long time since Bears and Lions were very good at the same time. Used to be decades ago when the rivalry was strong. and intense. Hoping those days come back soon again. For sure its been there in MLB, NBA, and NHL lol. Very good teams in both cities in recent years. Well, Pistons have been bad lately though lol.
I wish my Dad (who died in '95) and my brother (who died before the pandemic on February 28, 2020) lived to see this Lion's team. Dan Campbell has built a wonderful team culture here in Detroit. Born in Detroit in 1962 just after the championships in the '50s, grew up in Huron Township south of Metro Airport, left in 99, and returned in 2021. After all these years, it does my heart good to witness this historical win. So happy for this team, it is likely to be an awesome playoff season in 23-24. Some impressive talent.
I might be a diehard Eagles fan, but goddman, does it feel good to see the lions be competitive and hungry for a Super Bowl. They're definitely a team to fear in the foreseeable future.
I have waited my whole life for a moment like today! Thank you Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell and Sheila Ford along with Spielman for creating the vision and making this possible! All of the years of losing, frustration and coming up short made the journey worth it! Go Lions
Never forget last game of Dan Campbells 2nd season, beating Green Bay on the road postgame speech coach said “pretty soon all roads are going to lead through Detroit “ a year later nfc north champs and in position to get #1 seed still
After the 1-6 last Year we won 19 Games and lost just 6!What can we expect from our Team in this Season now??Can we beat Dallas next Week and give them the first Home-Loss of the Season?Maybe but if not I dont care!Maybe we lose in the WC-Round against the Rams as all the People say!I hope not and I believe in this Team!I must admit a Loss against Matthew Stafford would be a Nightmare!But I hope that we win this Game but if not it isn`t so bad because I see what grows in Detroit Locker Room!A Hell of a Team!!And with a good Offseason and Draft I think we can make a Run at the Lombardi next Season!I truly believe it!But that is next Year!Now I can celebrate this Division-Title with all my BroSis Fans in the World and in the City of Detroit!!LETS GOOOOOO LIONS
@@Amon-RaSt.DetroitWe are tired of waiting for next year when you have done it for as long as most of us have you will understand anything less than a Super Bowl is a failure and next year will never come
@@Amon-RaSt.Detroit Don't count any chickens before they hatch .Bad mojo .Shuuuuuuuu. Being a Lions fan for decades We have the right to tell you this.
28 years old. Ive never seen em do it. I have waited for this day since i was born. Bleed honolulu blue and silver and i do it with pride. And today my brothers and sisters, today, December 24th 2023, OUR detroit lions are nfc north champions. Couldnt have asked for a sweeter Christmas gift. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Remember, you are important and you are loved. GO LIONS!!!!
Honestly I she'd some tears of joy today! Been a Lions fan since 1988. It's been tough, but today will be day not ever forgotten! Restore the Roar baby!
What's Cool is that on quite a few plays you can hear the lions players on the sidelines cheering on their teammates over the noise of the vikings crowd
I was born in 1962 the Lions have Won 1 Playoff Game in my entire Life! I've been waiting 61 years for this! My brother is 5 yr older, he was 3 months old the last time the Lions WON the Championship! That was pretty Soup Bowl? The Detroit Lions, Kings of the North! 🦁
crazy man what a day. been waiting my whole life to see this day. became a fan as a kid because of my dad and it was so great to see his reaction today after such a monumental moment. this team will be great for years to come. thank you Sheila, Brad, and MCDC for the culture you’ve created. One Pride, Go Lions 🦁
Defense absolutely came to play. 2 picks for Kirby, one for iffy, one for branch, 2 sacks for iffy, one for branch, one for Romeo okwara. Offense was up and down versus a good defense. A win is a win.
I've been through it all with the lions! From Barry's years to Calvin's...having an 0-16 season....the laughing stock of football for as long as I can remember! To the 1st year they've gotten a full team we've won the NFC North and are going to the playoffs! I never thought this day would come but look at us now....and this is just the beginning!
This is for you big John Witt hope your looking down to see the lions blow up. Been det fan since born in 81… We have waited a long time for this believe 2024 Super Bowl champs keep that offensive line strong we got the coaches the QB it's our time.
Happy for you, Lions. Congrats on your Div Champ win. I'm sending respect and love as a Falcons fan and hope to see and have a rematch against u guys in the playoffs
I am so proud of our Boys!To win this Division is great!After the INT from Iffy i had Tears in my Eyes!Iffy plays a hell of a Game!A "Hell of a Story" like Julian Edelman would say!LOL!
It Finally Happened, I grewup watching all pro sports games, Ive dreamed for 60 yrs and Finnly Divisional Winners , secured Playoff spot homefield advantage Best Christmas Gift ever😎 "Congratulations and Keep it Going,"Lets Go LIONS!"
What a fantastic Christmas present! Thank you, Detroit Lions, for delivering the first NFC North title in our history, and first title since I was 13 years old. Everything Dan Campbell said in his opening press conference has come to fruition thus far. We were knocked down the first year every time we thought we were close, but we got back up and never gave in. Knocked down the first 7 games of last year, got back up and finished strong, culminating by punching the Packers square in the teeth to end their playoff hopes and Rogers career in Green Bay. Started off this year shocking the football world by beating the Super Bowl champs on their home field, took a few knocks here and there, but we were the ones taking the bigger swings this time around, and every time we took a hit, we gave a bigger punch back. Have not had a losing streak a single time this year with only 2 games left. The biggest win of all to date, a win IN Minnesota the day before Christmas, which we had not done since Dan was hired and this whole journey began, to TAKE the division! Nothing has been given to this team, and everyone laughed and counted them out from day one of MCDC's hiring. The DETROIT LIONS proved every single doubter and media person wrong and brought respect to the city and this organization. Well earned and well deserved. It's been a lifetime coming. I'm so proud and happy to be a Lions fan!
First NFC North title ever. Finally get to say the Lions are Division Champs! What a time to be alive.

Only because it used to be called central. Its the first in 30 years. Stop trying to get points for being an nfl nerd
No the first one in 30 yrs.
@@SteOhara Why you mad about it? Lions are champs, that’s all that matters. First championship for the North since its creation just makes it crazier.
@user-ii8oy3qg2t Bro is gettin butthurt over a simple comment.
@user-ii8oyqg2t
Blah blah blah blah. WTF are you talking about, nerd? Huh? Lions overcame their struggles and ended their 30 year divisional drought. It’s a magic moment for this NFC Northern team. 🤣
I never thought I would be able to shout “WE WON THE NORTH!!!” After a Lions game. One pride baby!!! 💙💙💙🦁🦁🦁

Born in '85 and I couldn't have stated it better. What a ride!
86 here
88 same feeling bro
84 and lucky to go to a match against the Redskins in the Silverdome in the early '90s (regular season)
There can be miracles, when you believe!
From this die hard Raiders fan, congrats Lions and all of Detroit. Happy for you guys! Rooting for you guys to win it all.
Detroit to the bay!
Respect. Not a lot of teams compliment other teams that beat them. You're a real respectable football fan.
Detroit native and lifelong Raiders fan, but I'm showing my hometown some love. This is great for Detroit
Hell yeah, thanks man. You got our boy Crosby, always rooting for him too. Appreciate the support bro--so many Detroiters/Michiganders have waited so freakin long for rhis--makes it that much sweeter. Love all the props from other teams fans, it's been amazing.

Crosby! Eastern Michigan (EMU) Eagles.
Waited My Entire Life for a NFC North Title now hoping to see a Playoff Victory as well
Go Lions 🦁
So has my 87 year old dad! He says LOL
Your comment as aged well, my friend. Now we just need a Superbowl win!
Thank you Detroit Lions for a pretty dope Christmas present---Division Champs.....also salute to Frank Ragnow. He's been an anchor for our O Line🎄🎄🎄
That QB sneak says it all. Goff barely got touched and I'm actually surprised the Lions don't do that more often.
First NFC North title of my lifetime, as a 2004 baby. Feels so good.
I've been waiting on this day since I was 13 years old.. I'm 43 years old.. I can literally scratch this off my bucket list!!
I so LOVE the lions.. Congratulations!!!

Seeing Decker in tears after the game does not get better than that in sports. A man that understands what he has done for the state of Michigan!
This is one hell of a Christmas present, boys.
🦁👑🏈
Congratulations to Martha as well and WCF. He def is proud of this team and his family
Never thought id see the lions being 11-4.
Much love from Niagara Falls NY, yall definitely got my support
Vilma gives the minnesota fanbase every excuse available. Detroit deserves all the credit for WINNING
Congratulations from Chicago; Good luck Detroit Lions!!!
Jamo caught everythin throw at him today 👋🏿
As not just a Lions fan but a relatively neutral football enjoyer, this has been amazing to experience
I have waited my whole life for a moment like today! Thank you Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell and Sheila Ford along with Spielman for creating the vision and making this possible! All of the years of losing, frustration and coming up short made the journey worth it! Go Lions

What's Cool is that on quite a few plays you can hear the lions players on the sidelines cheering on their teammates over the noise of the vikings crowd
This is the team we been waiting so long for. KIngs of the North!
This is a long time coming. Congratulations Detroit Lions. Y'all deserve it. There at the number 2 seed for now but let's go for the number 1 seed.
Cant get it
Can only get the no. 2 seed if the cowboys lose
We can get if if the 49niners loose 2 of 3 which is possible with Baltimore and rams
I was born in 1962 the Lions have Won 1 Playoff Game in my entire Life! I've been waiting 61 years for this! My brother is 5 yr older, he was 3 months old the last time the Lions WON the Championship! That was pretty Soup Bowl? The Detroit Lions, Kings of the North! 🦁
I was born in1951. The wait was worth it!
It truly is "a season of miracles". Now let's see if we can get a '57 rematch and meet Cleveland in a Super Bowl.
