- 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
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 😂
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!!!
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.
Being from the Windsor Ontario area, i am so happy for the great city of Detroit.
You guys deserve it
Go Lions

Question? Do the border agents give you Hell when trying to come over to the US part??

Thanks, neighbor.
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

Respect, thank you! 🤗🌟🦁🤍🏈💙🙏🏻
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
The Motor City, where we love Sports, Music and Cars!!! Detroit Rock City!!!!! 🦁🦁🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉....
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!!
This Steelers fan is cheering you on! Detroit, y'all enjoy it! You deserve it! GO LIONS!
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! 🤗🌟🦁🤍🏈💙🙏🏻
As a chiefs fan, would not be disappointed if they take it all. We are all detroit fans this year
I’m a Patriots fan who is rooting loudly and proudly for the Lions!!!!! LFG LIONS!!!!!
As a lifelong Detroiter, I love this!!!💙🤍💙🤍
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
AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!! GO LIONS!!!
Robert
why does this make me tear up
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🦁🏆🦁
13:22 , that young lady has a bright future ahead of her. She clearly understood the assignment.
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.
Thanks for sharing!!! ❤❤❤
GO LIONS!!!
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
God Bless all my friends in my home town..thanks Dan, Mrs. Ford, and Goff,- the miracle of the Lions team
Joe
Hi Friends, from a die hard, Saints season ticket holder, I'm loving this for y'all. A WONDERFUL FEELING !!!
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!
FEELS LIKE I'M THERE!!
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
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
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. 😅
Bill
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!💙
I was honored to witness history in Section 242! What an Epic experience that was!
Now THAT’S a home field advantage! A Super Bowl and A Natty in the same year would be a Dream Come True!
John
Frank Jonna rolling with that secret elixir of youth!
They broke the decibel record again at 134.4 decibels!
Amazing shots. It's like being there.
Love the raw footage shown, thanks David!
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!!!! 🏈🏈.....
Thank you for this video. It made me feel like I experienced it in person!
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!
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
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.
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?
Nice to see, after Ford Field was practically empty all of those losing years. But hey, let's ALL hop on the bandwagon now!!!!
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.
That was awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude, thank you for this. I’m literally in tears right now looking at this greatness! OH MY GOFF!!
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 !!!
Nothing but chills the whole video
DETROIT 98 VS SAN FRANCISCO 3 GO LIONS VAMOS LEONES HI FROM MEXICO
Great job ! What a boost for our city 🦁🎉
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 🤣

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 😂
Imagine the atmosphere if they had an outdoor stadium.
William
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!"
Thank you, David.
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. :)
Soooo loud, love it! The broadcast muted it so bad
One of the better stadiums too. Loved Ford Field.
Chris
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 Packers fan and Wisconsinite, but rooting so hard for the Lions. Let's go Midwest!
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
Let's go Lions ❤ I love y'all
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!
GO WIN IT ALL.
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 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! 🌟🦁🤍🏈💙🙏🏻
Love the atmosphere at Ford Field! Thanks for the vid!
Thank you for documenting!
Thanks so Much this is the video I been looking for TY
Freaking Hero. Make sure to book your tickets to Vegas so we get to be there with ya 😅😂
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.
I don't know if you are a professional, but great, I mean camera work.👍🏾👍🏾
I'm a die hard fan but lets take it one game at a time go lions
genuinely hope they win big this yr
Cinderella man playing before the game is so fucking thematically appropriate bro I’m losing it
Jay
Packers fan and I rooted for yall vs the Rams, the Bucs, and the 49ers.
THIS IS A PART OF HISTORY
Christmas in January.
Eagles fan here. When the playoffs started I wasn’t even rooting for the birds. The Eagles have had a recent championship. This city and fans deserved this. It would have been awesome to see them make the superbowl. Go Lions
Got me crying for Lions😢🎉🎉🎉
Eagles fan here pulling for the lions. You have waited long enough.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!🥲
You're so welcome!
Excellent video. Great work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Loved seeing all the Wolverines gear too
Then they shit the bed second half against the 49ers. It was right there for Detroit and they lost their heads.
Michael
AMAZING VIDEO
Thanks!
I'm a 49ers fan. The entire time I was watching the NFC Championship game, I was thinking, "I naturally want my 9ers to win, but I am just as happy with a Lions win." I feel like everyone has some Lions fan in them deep down.
11:15 this dude is a 50+ year season ticket holder? What's his secret to staying youthful? 😮
We will never stop showing up. Ever.
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Beat the 49ers please. From a rams fan
So many other fans relate to the lions because they have all hit that low point or are currently at that point. To see the Lions, the perineal loser Lions have a winning record, a great team and coaching staff, and make it to the championship round? It gives everyone hope. If the Lions can do it, why can’t our team?
Such a wonderful city. I hope they make history.
Love this! ❤👌
the nfc loss hit hard man😢😢😢😢
As a Chiefs fan I’m happy for Detroit fans 💯💯💯💯💯💯🙏🏾
Oh my gosh that’s me and my family at the 10 minute mark 😂😂😂😂
Love it🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I could care less about the NFL. Im a college football fan myself. However I will be rooting for the Lions only because I like seeing underdogs win.
