The Miracle in Motown deserves a deep rewind

  • 7 months ago
With zero seconds on the clock, Green Bay finds themselves at their own 39-yard line down two points against the Detroit Lions. This game is all but wrapped up. For the first time in over a decade, Detroit is on the verge of completing a season sweep against their divisional rival. If a decade sounds like a ridiculously long time, the Lions beat the Packers on the road for the first time in 24 years a few weeks prior. Yes, TWENTY FOUR YEARS. With this being a home game for Detroit, completing a sweep over a team that's owned them for years will surely make this loyal Lions fan base ecstatic. A rare feeling for them.

Historically the Lions are ass. Despite being one of the oldest franchises in the league, Detroit is one of four teams to have never reached the Super Bowl. But tonight, this team presents hope for the future. What changed? Well, to fully appreciate what comes next we gotta rewind.
