Who’s here after they won their first playoff game since 1991?
I drove up to Detroit from Cincinnati to attend that game! I wanted to be part of History! 3rd Playoff win since 1957! That’s insane!
as a lions fan this is crazy that this was our last postseason victory
Jay Brick We could win this year if we keep playing like we are rn
TheBaconGamer maybe but I never get my hopes up with the lions
TheBaconGamer I'm a Lions fan and I think we suck, our whole division sucks, not to mention we have been vsing very terrible teams and only winning by 7 points or less.
thruthseeker89 for life our only postseason victory in the super bowl era the future is bright though I believe in the bob Quinn
what's even crazier is that the Lions aren't the team with the longest current postseason win drought. The Bengals last playoff win was in the 1990 season.
However the Bengals have more than 1 playoff win since the super bowl era.
I am commenting on this video to say 33 years later , the lions won a playoff game! the roar has been restored 🦁
*32 YEARS* later!
😜😜
I hope the Lions win a Super Bowl someday in my life time..
So long as they aren't playing against the Broncos, I'll be rooting with you. Y'all deserve it!!
It will be someone's lifetime, probably not ours. It will be some kind of football played in space.
They will win multiple Super Bowls once the Fords are no longer the owners.
And Coronavirus said.... "AHHH AND THAT WILL BE A NO" 🤣
Wishful thinking
Barry Sanders is the greatest RB of all time
DJ KO really? IDIOT! then who is? please name one better faster because you can't!
MedShot every body knows that
hitek9wittafulclip emmit smith had the best offensive line in the history of the nfl. The lions had nobody
Definitely
God, it’s been since 92 when the Lions won a playoff game, and today on 1/14/24 the Lions beat the Rams 24-23 to finally win a playoff game.
There are two fanbases that I have a lot of respect for: Lions fans, and Browns fans. Sticking with these two teams despite decades upon decades of failure and heartbreak takes quite some resolve. And I really, truly hope that one day, the misery will be lifted and both franchises will get rings. After this much pain and suffering, you guys deserve it the most.
-Panthers fan
This is a Super Bowl matchup that I would pay good money to see. Especially if both teams come to the game still on dryspells. It would be NFL's version of the 2016 World Series
The Browns have had 5 playoff wins in the SB era. The Lions have this one.
@@stephenh5944 yeah but until last week they hadn’t had one since 1995
Go Lions!
Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo are so close to one another yet so cursed with bad football.
1:42:32 This is what you came here to see.
You hold Barry to 22 yards rushing for 3+ quarters....and then BAM!!! Barry's cape starts to show. Absolutely amazing.
amazing
Three things in this game I miss...Barry, the Silverdome, and the old uniform and logo.
The logo was great. The new one is just some lame attempt to make it modern looking. Keep stuff clean and simple
2K16 the old logo was so bad I used to think the front legs were the mouth.
Mattylicious You must have seen some weird looking lions if you thought that was the mouth. I was never confused by it at all
I actually thought that the arms WERE the mouth of the Lions logo! 😁
The Bubbles logo was one of the league's oldest, a classic look. I'd like to see them go back to the uniforms from the Alex Karras/ Lem Barney days.
And finally in 2024 🔥🔥
One thing in common with this game and yesterday's games: Detroit wins and Dallas loses. lol. Congrats to the Lions on breaking the drought.
Coincidentally, Dallas ends up loosing to another NFC North team.
Congratulations Lions on tonight’s win!
I was 21 when this game happened, the Lions had a helluva good team, Sanders, Spielman, Moore, Kramer and the great Mel Gray! Everyone nicknamed the Pontiac Silverdome the"Terror Dome" as the Lions were unbeaten at home that season. This was the season that Lions OL Mike Utley suffered a spinal cord injury paralyzing him from the chest down, while being taken from the field on a stretcher he somehow flashed a "Thumbs Up", that moment defined the remainder of the Lions season.
I think that year, you were America's team.
That was a great year for you guys.
Eric Andolsek killed by a car while mowing his front lawn,in the off season. Lions let this great secondary get away from them, didn’t want to pay them. Only guy they end up keeping is Benny Blades...he always made the big hit after the guy scored a touchdown.
O it wasn't that was 2000 yard game vs jets
It was great that Moore had a good game because more only had about 135 yards that season and in this game he had 87 yards
Hell yeah I remember all that I was 12
Who's here after the Lions won a playoff game in 23-24?
One playoff win in 60 years. Any time I think about some of the heart breakers the Packers have had in the playoffs over the years, I remind myself of the Lions and what their fans have suffered through.
I'm from Green Bay and a Packer fan as well and it is utterly ridiculous what the management for Detroit has done to that franchise over the past 60 years.
@@johnq.random1496 Imagine had Green Bay drafted Barry versus that other guy who was a bust. It’s sickening to wonder.
@@boogitybear2283 I'll take the one time mistake of Tony Mandarich over 60 years of mistakes and mismanagement any day.
@@johnq.random1496 Not signing Kramer to firing Coach Fontes was one big screw up after another!
Things are gonna change now
How utterly cool is it that the NFL puts these old games, FULL games, on here for any of us to watch and remember the old days. Big kudos and thanks NFL, very cool of you.
WOW Barry Sanders was something else.
You have no idea. The most electrifying player I've ever seen in the NFL. And I've been watching since 1971.
Other than the TD run the Cowboys actually shut him down, a below average game for Barry.
@@ScarecrOmega that shows how big of a legend he was. When the defense "shuts him down" he pull a 47 yard epic TD, my god he was great.
@@ScarecrOmegaI think it was one of those things in which the Cowboys sole focus was stopping Barry sanders; since the Lions knew this, they changed tactics and went to the air (it turns out Erik Kramer was pretty decent, and the cowboys pass rush/pass dense needed some upgrades at this point). That led to the Lions dominance; this rout was legit (the regular-season game these two played had the Lions scoring defensive & special teams TD's, but the Cowboys controlled the action).
Even though Dallas shut down Barry, he was able to do what Barry does best; amaze the World with just one iconic run! I’ve watched this run over 1000 times and still get jaw dropped seeing it!
1:42:44 "Sanders still on his feet and Sanders is _gone_ "
Iconic top 10 highlight reel play by the best running back of all time
Anyone else revisiting after the Lions win against the Rams?😅
I was here
Who's here after their playoff win vs rams?
Not only was Barry Sanders the greatest running back in NFL history (but Jim Brown is the ONLY guy I would not argue against, so long as that person applies the same logic towards Barry) but he's also one of the most honest, professional, humble, men to have ever played the game. I was born and raised in Oxford, Ms, about 2 miles from the campus of Ole Miss, so naturally I was born a Rebel fan. (god help me) I didn't have a favorite NFL team, and when I was about 5 my older brother decided it was time to pick one. He's been a Chief's fan all his life, so naturally I tried to chose KC also. He wouldn't let me, until I had watched a little more, and you have to remember there was no internet, so he told me some basic info/history on all the teams. A short time later, a Sunday night game between the Lions & Packers was on, and I saw Barry Sanders for the very first time. Even then, at such a young age, I understood on some level that this was special. That HE was special. I've been a die hard Lions fan every day of my life, since that Sunday. (God help me again)
I'll still take Walter Payton. Better receiver, blocker, and was often Chicago's best QB. Never had a WR like Herman Moore. Was always the first and second focus since Chicago was so putrid passing until around 1984.
I agree. Barry was without a doubt the greatest. It's a shame that he retired so early. I think he had PLENTY of gas left in the tank.
Wow, I had no idea anyone from outside Michigan could ever become a Lions fan. My hat’s off to you, sir.
Barry was one of the few gems we had going for us, but his career could have been outta this world if he played for a functional franchise.
I grew up in NJ, but have been a Lions' fan since 1971. Greg Landry was my first favorite NFL player. (after becoming a Reds fan in 1972, I also became a Bengals fan) That is hilarious, Adam, about how your older brother a.) decided everyone needed to "pick" a favorite, and b.) wouldn't let you pick his. Wow, that is EXACTLY like how things worked with me and my older brothers!!!
My oldest brother picked the Colts, my next brother picked the Rams and I picked the Lions. (first game I distinctly remember is the Lions-49ers game at the end of the '71 season, which was televised in NJ)
Like you, the choices I made back then as a little kid have stuck with me all my life. Rebs & Lions? Wow, that's rough. Kudos to you for sticking with "your" teams!
FWIW, my 3rd favorite team has always been the Chiefs. One day about 5 years ago, I went backwards through the NFL playoffs, year-by-year, crossing off each team that won a game. I got back to 1993 and sadly realized that my 3 favorite teams were the only ones that hadn't been crossed off. Chiefs last win (prior to 2015) was 1993 at Houston before losing the AFC CCG to Buffalo. Lions last win was this one vs Dallas in 1991. And the Bengals' last win was 1990 vs Houston.
So I can definitely relate to being a fan of teams that leave you with forlorn hope, at best.
Adam, never let ANYONE shame you because of the team that you root for man!! Believe me, I know what it is liked to be heckled for liking certain teams and or players. If you feel in your heart that the Lions are your team, then root for them and have no regrets rooting for them!!
Detroit fan in 2023!! This year is our best to win another! I believe in MCDC!!
Here after the Lions won a wildcard game after over 30 years.
Being 2023, it's been 1 playoff win in the last 66 years
Next opportunity imminent. It seems
Make that two playoff wins.
John Madden is the greatest Nfl Color commentator . period
Daniel Santana I was laughing my ass off when he started calling someone Thicc
@Game of Thirteen yup
Yes sir!!!
he's not even the best commentator to work with Summerall
Man I loved Madden. His commentary was always something like: "You have to score some points to get points and get those points to win the game because those points mean you could win". Madden was a damn legend. Especially on Thanksgiving when discussing how to eat a turkey. LOL anyone else remember those speeches how he would take parts of the turkey and discuss which lineman should get it, etc? Damn I miss 90s football between stuff like that, Bud Bowl, and so on.
I’m addicted to this game and I’m not a Detroit Lions fan, however, Barry Sanders is my all time favorite Running back so I’m definitely a supporter of them! I hope they eventually go back to the NFC Championship and this time, win that and the Super Bowl! Erik Kramer was so badass in this game! He was on fire!
Barry Sanders was just amazing in the 90's wish he could have played longer and got the rushing record
Barry was never a stats guy. That was one difference between him and Emmitt Smith. Emmitt certainly did care about stats and being the top rusher of all-time. Thus, his very forgettable and sad time in Arizona. Regardless, both were tremendous RB's.
Rick Rock
He ran for nearly 1,000 yards and 9 touchdowns on a bad Arizona team his final season. I wouldn't say that's "sad" for a guy who was way past his prime.
Tmas805 the lions formed VOLTRON that year
Rick Rock to be fair Emmitt, Rice and Deion all played way past their primes and had numerous "comebacks".
It's sad to play past your prime no matter how you cut it. At least with Barry and Megatron there is no garbage season marring their resume.
The last time the NFL allowed the Lions to beat Dallas in the playoffs.
I'll never forget Stafford shouting "HOME COOKIN'!!!" to the refs
Lol ikr
The last time the NFL allowed the Lions to beat ANYBODY in the playoffs!
Kristopher Loviska I’m a Cowboys fan and I agree, that was a bad call.
It was pass interference. I don’t remember why they reversed the call.
And the following week, Cowboys were screwed by the refs cause Dez did catch the ball.
How many times has Detroit played the Cowboys in the playoffs, what rounds and which seasons?
thanks for the upload! kinda wild to think the Lions beat Jimmy Johnson, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin.....and with Summerall and Madden on the call? how cool is that......also, it was hard to believe how good Erik Kramer in this game lol. it was awesome to see the guys my Dad told me about like Herman Moore and Chris Spielman and of course the greatest running back of all time.....Barry Sanders! legends all over the place!
I remember the first Lions game I watched was next week against Washington. Because of course it was. But I think the 2023 Lions are gonna give me something to cheer for.
Lions has some dedicated fans lmbo.... Damn they was lit..
Damn u gorgeous
Lions -has- have some....they -was- were.....
If the subject (Lions/they) is plural, then the verb should be plural (have/were) not singular (has/was). They'll probably cover this when you get to 4th grade.
"Man" is not a proper noun nor is it at the beginning of a sentence. However, you had capitalized the word in your profile name.
"Hot comb" is two words not one. You should pick up an English book.
Lit?
*Lions post-season wins:*
*1935* Lions 26 Giants 7 (NFL Championship, at Detroit)
*1952* Lions 31 Rams 21 (Playoff, at Detroit)
*1952* Lions 17 Browns 7 (NFL Championship, at Cleveland)
*1953* Lions 17 Browns 16 (NFL Championship, at Detroit)
*1957* Lions 31 49ers 27 (Playoff, at San Francisco)
*1957* Lions 59 Browns 14 (NFL Championship, at Detroit)
*1991* Lions 38 Cowboys 6 (Divisional Playoff, at Detroit)
From 1960 through 1962, the Lions also won 3 consecutive "Playoff Bowl" games, basically a 3rd-place game played in Miami between the 2nd-place teams from the East and West divisions. (they beat the Browns 17-16...the Eagles 38-10...and the Steelers 17-10) The "Playoff Bowl" was played from 1960 through 1969, but the games are now classified by the NFL merely as exhibition games, and therefore are not included in any official stats or records.
Thank you for this history
One of the greatest days of my childhood, and I got to see it in person!!!!
Me too. I was there as well
That Dome was massive huge. I wish they never tore it down.
This brings back childhood memories, I was 11 years old, I love my childhood
@@dennismisovski9932 I was 11 then to probably the only lions playoff win I will see
@@lousanto1054 You got to witness the greatest NFL Run of all time; Barry’s TD run.
One great thing about these old games...Guys making plays and then going back to the huddle. No celebrating every first down like it was a major accomplishment or defensive backs flexing after they get beat, but the ball is overthrown. And no one celebrating a big hit after a 20 yard gain.
actual just football
Who else is here after the lions beat the rams in the wild card?
Just like Erik Kramer, Jared Goff played great passing attempts!
I was at this game. Never heard a stadium/arena so loud in my life.
I was, too. It was pretty incredible. This was the first ever playoff game I ever attended. Later would attend many Red Wings and Pistons playoff games, including Game 7 7-0 vs the Avalanche, and the 2004 NBA Finals game 5 against the Lakers.
Me2. We got to see one of Barry's best runs of all time.
How was the game 7 vs avs
@@lousanto1054 the 2002 Red Wings is the biggest constellation of hockey stars I've ever seen
@@otaviofrn_adv agreed. Absolutely amazing. For sure.
“Lions capture first postseason win since 1957” Only to have that be their only one since 1957.
Dear Jimmy Johnson,
Thank you so much for putting Aikman in.

The Lions
Pretty sure it didn't matter either way.

@@shawngilmore9700 negative. Barry did more with less.

@@shawngilmore9700 Emmitt was Garbage. He needed a line!
I will never forget this game; the perfect game!
Ohhh the good ol'days. I remember this game.. Who would of known. 32 years later an still waiting for next one. There's always next year..
And now, on January 14, 2024 THE DETROIT LIONS DO IT AGAIN.
Amazingly after this game both teams went in Opposite directions.
I wish we would of cared this momentum into the NFC championship game and got to the sb...
No one was beating that Washington team. Most underrated Super Bowl champion of my lifetime. All they did was dominate, but 1991 was such a weird year, they never get the credit.
Honestly I think there's a compelling case that it woulda been Phillys year if Cunningham was healthy that defense was unbelievably dominant the problem was after he went down the wheels fell off the offense and was a complete dumpster fire without him
The Lions and Redskins played week 1. 45-0 Washington lol
Kevin Balls ikr
Don't know. There was always something with Philadelphia. Still that season was so bittersweet for them. They went 10-6 with garbage at QB. Plus the 49ers also went 10-6 in there first season without Joe Montana. You could argue that two of the best teams in The NFC Didn't make the playoffs, SF & Philly.
The drought is broken. We should be favored over either tampa or philly next week. This comment could age horribly, but we should at least make the nfc championship. Whatever happens from there is gravy
This is the greatest game ever! It's so sad the Lions never won another playoff game again. Unbelievable!
The were robbed of one vs Dallas in 2015, sooo sometimes you have to be allowed to win.
Until January 14, 2024
I was there, and the crowd noise at this game was absolutely amazing. First time seeing the TV broadcast brought back all those memories. Thank you for posting!
Mike Untch what an honor to attend this game before the stadium folded. The terror dome.... no other stadium will be ad loud as this one was.

NFL great g ame
Barry Sanders' 47-yard TD run....
that's Barry being Barry!!

I was at that game, senior in high school! Unreal!!! What a game.
I can only imagine how loud it was especially seeing Barry’s iconic TD run!
Maddens commentary is fantastic. Could hear that dude speak nonstop.
Wow, them boys were decimated by the Lions and Sanders put the Motor in Motor City. Respect....respect!
Cowboys did win 3 out of the next 4 SBs and this was the Lions last ever playoff win so…..
don't ya love old school football. it's awesome to look at history
Phoenix Dexheimer back when the lions had a quarterback Hell! they won a playoff game so that makes Kramer better than Stafford
yep kramer is better than (statsford)
Erik Kramer sucked he had 11 tds and 8 ints in 91 in 92 he had 4 tds and 8 ints the best season he had was with the bears in 95 and the only time in his career he threw over 15 tds
@@KamuiCage he was a lot better than Scott Mitchell!😂
1:46:16 Up until 1991, I had never seen the Detroit Lions mascot this happy and engaged.
Lol what about the other Mascots when Melvin Jenkins ran a Pick 6!😂
since 1957, we have had 3 playoff wins. LET’S GO!!!!!!
I love those old Lions uniforms. I don't understand why they went away from them.
Millen is the reason. He added black cuz he played for the Raiders 🤦♂️ Lions look much better in their current uniforms.

Who’s here because the Lions beat the Rams this year?
Lions fans in 1991: I can’t believe we haven’t won a playoff game in over 30 years
Lions fans in 2023: I can’t believe we haven’t won a playoff game in over 30 years
I feel extreme sympathy for Lions Fans because that 1 playoff win was 1 win away from going to the Super Bowl and Washington flat out dominated not just them twice but the entire season. Had that Redskins team not been that good, Detroit would have gone to the Super Bowl. I can’t say if they would have beaten Buffalo or not but it was possible. That Detroit team was so dangerous on Artificial Turf and playing indoors. That Super Bowl was played in the Minneapolis Metrodome. I really wish Barry and that Lions team won it all that year.
history repeats itself
To ALL Detroit Lions fans, congrats on the Lions getting their first division title since 1993!!!!!
1:42:44 Holy crap, he made #75 and #51 look so stupid, hahaha! Barry Sanders is one of the most fun players to watch.
Spielman should be in the HOF. As a Michigan fan he's the only former Ohio State player I like due to his great play for the Lions and the fact that he is just a hell of a guy.
Nick Heebsh what about lions current LT Taylor Decker? he's a buckeye but is better at protecting Stafford than any other LT we've had. plus he seems like a cool guy
My father in law died 2 days before this game... I took a break from the funeral home to try to watch this game...Lions fan my whole life...there will never be another Barry Sanders...and to Erik Kramer..you are blessed to still be here...you were amazing and I hope you have found the peace in your life..thank you for the memories
Thought my boys were going to the Superbowl, DAMN!!
Unfortunately the Lion's hadn't won in Washington at that time and Washington watered the playing surface all night before GameDay.
Barry couldn't get any traction and the rest is history !!!
They would 3 times in the next 4 years after this one
@@fredc.o.4495The supposed greatest running back in history was repeatedly stifled by the conditions in the playoffs. 2.85 YPC in road playoff games with 0 TDs. 😂
First Lions game I ever saw and the game that made me a fan to this day. Mostly because of my dislike of the Cowboys, so this game was fitting since Dallas was on the wrong end of the score. Could have been any other team that beat Dallas and I would ended up a fan of them, but it was Detroit and I have been loyal to this day and beyond.
shanna scruggs I’m so sorry
This is the Lions unofficial Super Bowl win.
I live 15 minutes from where the Silverdome used to be. Got to play a game there when I played for my parks n rec team when I was 12. Only game we won all season and won it 6-0 lol good times..
Thank you for posting this. As a Lions fan this is it... So fun to see a team that had so much potential . I was only 7. It was like a never before seen game for me.
Best time of my life. I was 13
Best Detroit Lions Team!
I was 14 years old watching this with my pops and yelling at the top of my lungs when Kramer threw that first TD
I was 11, but I remember it like yesterday. Let’s hope for 1 this year?!
I've lived in Dallas for 35 years, and I was in Dallas that day, with my Lions jersey on, what a great day it was.
Eric Kramer, the best qb in Lions history (playoff win) enough said
I've liked watching him throw in a few of these throwback games, for sure. It's just nice to feel safe knowing we got a guy who's competent to replace the person who (after a super bowl season) fell to pieces unfortunately.
Cowboys were on the cusp of greatness here. They would go on to win three of the next four Super Bowls after this playoff loss.
I remember watching this as a kid. Now I just watched it again and it felt like the first time all over again. I was at the Silverdome that year for the Thanksgiving game... damn this brought back memories... those were the years! I miss the dome, I miss hearing “we will rock you”, I miss the jeopardy music during play reviews... the crowds in the dome at this time was electric. Those experiences as a kid, along with Barry Sanders, is why I have been hooked as a die-hard Lions fan my entire life. Damn I hope they can get it together and get a championship.
Crowd was insane!
Was there
Great game for the Lions. I remember the graphic they showed at 1:28:28 that had me rolling.
Lmao whatever happened to Guy In The Stands?😂
Absolutely insane how much the game has evolved. This looks like a club team compared to the schemey offenses of today. PS: Go Lions!!
It was after this year that Dallas won 3 Super Bowls in the next 4 years. And this was the last time the lions were looked at as actual contenders.
Calm down over there
Dallas would exact its revenge and win 11 of its next 12 playoff games including 4 NFC Championship Game appearances, 3 Super Bowl appearances and 3 Lombardi Trophies.
Luke Enno Thank the Vikings for the dumbest trade ever, and Deion Sanders.
Who cares bout that puece of pupu
@@Embur12 Actually thank the Niners trading for Charles Haley to Dallas. The missing ingredient.

Barry Sanders Greatest Running Back Ever
The Lions are going to get their 2nd playoff win finally this season.
They did just that
I pulled this down this am and am now watching on a 47" VISIO as an .MP4.
Kudos to you sir! The editing is excellent and you did a great job of upscaling this.
I still get goosebumps watching this I know one day we'll be back on top!!!!!
They are playing great this year. The Rams gave up on Goff way to early. He took the to a superbowl. He deserved better from them. Glad he is playing well in Detroit.
I was at this game most memorable the loudest and the ground was shaking and there were more than 80k in the stands people were sitting in the aisle way
Ill never forget them being so loud in the 97 game vs the jets that they were getting penalized lol
Wow, that sounds packed!
I was at this game with a good buddy. We had a great time watching Eric Kramer, Barry Sanders, and the Lions defense carve up THE BOYS 38-6. I am still waiting for the next Lions playoff victory.
I wanna know where “Guy In The Stands” is these days!
My Dad was at this game. When Barry broke off that run, he said that was the loudest he ever heard the Silverdome.
WILLIE GREEN THE TOUCHDOWN MACHINE!!!
If they had stafford at this time we would have been super bowl champs
Facts
Was at this game. Being a fan in this crowd was the greatest feeling of any i have been to, and I was at a lot. This crowd was nuts the entire game. Watching the fans do the wave in the Silverdome was awesome and mesmerizing, just like the team on thr field. Such a great day and great memory. This is worth a watch. The Detroit Def was famtastic. Kramer showed intelligence and parience. I was a huge Herman Moore fan he was great And Murray was one of the top K im the league, Mel Grey was one of the best Return men... tho Barry takes kick offs!!!! Ya that happens. Go Lions!
We were driving back from my grandparents' house that day, so we missed this game. I was nervous about the Lions' chances and wanted them to win because...what else...Barry Sanders. Not just the win but the margin put a huge smile on my face!!
Kramer looked like a Hall of Famer in this one game.
First time they had 2 weeks to prepare for a game and actually practiced. Seems like they did not do that too much in that era .
Kramer got compared to Joe Montana by John Madden.Funny the Lions organization couldnt see it,but a commentator could.
Pretty sure he wasn't Montana
Just like that playoff game Tim Tebow won for the Broncos in 2011 against the Steelers. Both Tebow and Kramer didn't really accomplish much in the NFL after their respective playoff wins.
Yeah
Lions one win away from super bowl after beating Tampa
I'm 50 years old. This is the only Lions playoff win in my lifetime.
OH my goodness! Thank you! I was 9 years old when my dad took me to this game. Greatest time of my childhood right here.
The same year Home Improvement premiered on TV.
Madden: "Uh, he's looking at those imaging things or whatever you call them." John, do you mean "pictures"?
That's what made the Summerall & Madden tandem great.
Man, I remember this game 🦁 looking forward to the Lions making New memories with playoffs and wins
My folks were sending me clippings of my 'Boyz playoff run while we were in the Gulf prepping for our own run to Kuwait.It may have been short,but it gave me(and a few others of similar fandom)hope and something to smile about.That reward would come the next season.Go 'Boyz and GO NAVY.
