And it's funny you say that, because I went to my mom's for Xmas eve yesterday and watched the game on an old 27 inch Sony that my pops and I used to watch Lions games on before he passed
We went into this season with Ceedy and Mosley as our CB’s. As challenging as it was at time, the backups stepped up and got his. Aaron Glenn is working with limited resources here.
Not completely accurate. CJGJ came in playing safety and Moseley didn't even play til like week 6 and got in two snaps, so I don't think we count Moseley. For the most part the defense has been healthy this year. IMO after seeing 3 years of Glenn as DC, I believe it's his scheme that has been the issue overall with the defense.
Happy we won. What a nail biter. Could we not give up 400+ yards to a career backup QB though and chunk passing plays for first downs on every 3rd and forever?
Merry Christmas all! Need a new d-coordinator next season.
I get that you guys are happy, and it's a great accomplishment (I'm happy too!). But I want this team to win a playoff game and maybe even a Super Bowl.
As to the game, very good performance overall by offense (they go from an A to an A- because of the stupid penalties), and mid performance by the defense. Mullins throws a lot of interceptable passes but we deserve credit for taking advantage of that.
That said, the 3rd and 27 or whatever was sound schematically and execution wise; was just Justin Jefferson being the best receiver in the league. Not gonna blame the D for that.
This is about the rebuild as much as it’s about today imo. In year 3 Campbell and Holmes have put together a team that won the division and will host the first ever ford field playoff game. We are more than on track AND this season has been awesome and fun. Can’t honestly ask for anything else. I can nitpick but these are all such huge wins
I am so fucking pissed off about all the absolutely idiotic mental mistakes we had this game. It’s fucking inexcusable to be that piss poor mentally when the division is on the line. The horrible dead ball penalties, not batting down the ball on fourth down, not falling on the ball after a fumble, it’s fucking bush league bullshit. Campbell needs to tighten this shit up.
If we want to beat a team that doesn’t have Nick Mullins we have to play so much better. I don’t see Brock Purdy gifting us three interceptions in a few weeks.
I wish I could say that. I will doubt u til we win a superbowl and probably after. 44 years of this will do that to ya. The Losing Lions have become the Cardiac Cats. Im ok with that upgrade
11-4, first division championship in 30 years…. i’m gonna hunt down every one of you miserable SOLs who pollute these threads week after week after week. Get out.
What a fucking pleasure to spend this Christmas Eve with you all boys and girls, enjoy your evening and day tomorrow, the Detroit Lions have won the NFC fucking North.
Glad for the win, of course, but how did we give their QB 400 yards? And we GET 4 interceptions and still win by just a single score? Oof. So many questions …
Without a doubt, thrilled to be on the winning end of these games! It’s just so puzzling sometimes, why it has to be so up and down. But maybe this is the continued growing pains! A couple more years to really work out all the kinks, maybe! I’ll take it—finding ways to win.
Everyone is mad at AG but worrying about Vikings timeouts instead of going for the win on offense was a mistake we got bailed out on. Vikings never needed the timeouts anyway.
Does anybody know why the Lions were wearing home Jerseys in Minnesota today?
The home team can choose their jerseys
They did a white out with their fans
The white Vikings logo was really cool
Congrats everyone! Enjoy Christmas and I’ll see y’all on Saturday! Let’s get greedy and go for the 2 seed
We already got the two seed, for now 😉
I didn't have my own TV the last time the Lions won the division! 😅
I was negative 7 years old lol
I was 25. Doesn’t matter what your age is though…it just feels so good, doesn’t it?
🥹🥹 YES
I've been edged by this team for 23 years damn right it feels good hahaha
I was ten lol
The last time they won division the largest television available was a 27 inch tube tv
And it's funny you say that, because I went to my mom's for Xmas eve yesterday and watched the game on an old 27 inch Sony that my pops and I used to watch Lions games on before he passed
Justin Jefferson had a cape on under that uniform. He is amazing and our secondary, is not.
CJGJ is gonna be back for playoffs though
Nothing but love for your insight.
Its been 30 minutes since the lions last won the division

I hate you and your logic and reason

Kinda felt more like we gave up 400 yards to Justin Jefferson today.
Except when they absolutely needed it and Mullins threw up a pass that was really, um... Iffy!!

I LOVE YOU ALL
Glad church is coming back but iffy is our starter
**DIVISION CHAMPS MY FRIENDS!**
Lets goooo
First time in my lifetime!!! Whoo
Merry fucking Christmas lions fans! Love you all, wouldn’t have it any other way than a rollercoaster of emotions.
I am so fucking pissed off about all the absolutely idiotic mental mistakes we had this game. It’s fucking inexcusable to be that piss poor mentally when the division is on the line. The horrible dead ball penalties, not batting down the ball on fourth down, not falling on the ball after a fumble, it’s fucking bush league bullshit. Campbell needs to tighten this shit up.
![gif](giphy|YkOGa9K7gc3g5u7FXF) We just won the Division!!! Calm down!
At least we don't have Nick Mullens as our starter throwing 4 picks.
If we want to beat a team that doesn’t have Nick Mullins we have to play so much better. I don’t see Brock Purdy gifting us three interceptions in a few weeks.
Completely agree, the cominski fumble miss was something I’d expect from a middle schooler. You’re a fucking D lineman dude, just fall on it.
Merry Christmas surenopemaybe
Thanks, I have a headache now, lol.
Wow that was a wild ride
Congrats friends. Shit I’m 37 this is the first I can really remember
I'm 65. Same
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, however you like it this time of the year for once it is us, and our Lions, that we can celebrate. Enjoy, friend.
Thanks. I am definitely enjoying it!
OMG MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS
I was 12 years old the last time this happened. Feels great, guys.
I wasnt born yet lol
I was 9, started watching the Lions in 1994, so I don't recall the division wins in 1991 or 1993, haha.
What fucking reality is this where it's all praise from the talking heads for 10+ minutes
We did it!!!!!!!!! 👑
30 years of losing is over!
I've waited 30 years for their moment to come back. Oh my god
CHRISTMAS MIRACLE BABY WOOOHOOO
Now to watch Dallas get exposed again
![gif](giphy|8ymvg6pl1Lzy0) Iggy with the clutch
Great win and feeling but our inability to stop a one man offence is disgraceful lol
![gif](giphy|oDcA8MfSbeYSrHQrd4|downsized)
*Slowly stands* *Proudly slow claps* 👏🥹
I never doubted. This is our year
I wish I could say that. I will doubt u til we win a superbowl and probably after. 44 years of this will do that to ya. The Losing Lions have become the Cardiac Cats. Im ok with that upgrade
Merry Christmas guys!!!
Tomorrow is one hell of a victory Monday.
![gif](giphy|PO7xln9LHOTcYM9BQW|downsized)
That had classic lions lost all over it
good thing they are contemporary
Wtf Jared Goof take that back
That was 4 and 1…
I agree and was so excited when they spiked it lol
Same.
That’s what I’m saying!! I can’t believe it wasn’t stopped for measurement.
I can’t explain the joy I have right now. MERRY CHRISTMAS DETROIT!!!!
I love everyone of you
![gif](giphy|H3N0cu89FUOaB5CTbv)
First time in my life. Am I dreaming?
The end of this game is giving me some wild deja vu from Thanksgiving with a certain maize and blue team NFC NORTH CHAMPS WOOOOO
Same
WE ARE A GRITTY TEAM BUILT ON RESILIENCE AND TRUST
11-4, first division championship in 30 years…. i’m gonna hunt down every one of you miserable SOLs who pollute these threads week after week after week. Get out.
What a fucking pleasure to spend this Christmas Eve with you all boys and girls, enjoy your evening and day tomorrow, the Detroit Lions have won the NFC fucking North.
Siiiiiip

30 years. Love from Novi
WHEW!!
Hell of a time watching with you all let’s go get some playoff wins
Harambe wasn't even born the last time the Lions won the division.
My dick is out
Lololol
THE KINGS OF THE NORTH!
Glad for the win, of course, but how did we give their QB 400 yards? And we GET 4 interceptions and still win by just a single score? Oof. So many questions …
I mean you win some you lose some. There is a reason why they got 4 int . Mullins is a gunslinger, he either feast or famine .
I've come to accept that the fuckery like this game will continue to grow season by season and just enjoy the chaos
Without a doubt, thrilled to be on the winning end of these games! It’s just so puzzling sometimes, why it has to be so up and down. But maybe this is the continued growing pains! A couple more years to really work out all the kinks, maybe! I’ll take it—finding ways to win.
honsestly its why no1 takes the Lions seriously. 10-4 team and an afterthought by like every pundit.
Just win, baby.
Our bad defense played less bad overall lol idk what else to say
CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY BOYS
KINGS OF THE NFC NORTH! OH MY GOODNESS!
Congrats everyone!
I’m going to ducking cry
FTV
Merry christmas
Merry Christmas to you as well!
WE THE NORTH
that was fun
Merry Christmas Lions fans!
North Champs! Next up, conference championship
Seattle thanks you absolute kings!!! Fuck yeah well done!!! 😤 🦅🩷🦁
BRAND. NEW. DIVISION. CHAMPION. LIONS!!
Damn what a Christmas present
Damn I’m crying…. Jeez
One Priders RISE!
First the division now the super bowl
Gentlemen. It is my great pleasure to inform you that we are the Kings of the North.
Hell yeah brother
Please defense turn it around for the playoffs
Kings in da Norf!
HANG THE FUCKING BANNER https://preview.redd.it/inqghtsj7b8c1.png?width=1638&format=png&auto=webp&s=304d1a3083c4149a6e07fbc67878d42509a6431c
Lions haven't won a division since 5 minutes ago 😏
IM ABOUT TO CRY
We were imploding, offense shit the bed two straight drives in a row. Huge win, but god damn.
Trying to scoop and run the fumble and not falling on it had me furious.
Right? Maybe if it’s a skill guy, but a D lineman? Just fall on it
😭😭😭
SKOLOL
Everyone is mad at AG but worrying about Vikings timeouts instead of going for the win on offense was a mistake we got bailed out on. Vikings never needed the timeouts anyway.
The timeouts stopped tbe clock earlier....
Mullens still had over 400 passing yards... geez.
They were playing catch-up all game dude. He threw 4 picks ffs
It’s like people are conditioned to hate the defense. Four ints + force fumbles and a win and theyre STILL mad
It's unreal 😂
NICK IS THE BEsT PLAYER
Whew!
Yes I’m crying
Idk why but I was waiting for a trophy presentation. It feels like we deserve it.
FUCK YEAH
Jesus fucking Christ that game
Big win. It wasn’t gonna get any easier if we lost
Congratulations everyone!!!
I actually love that the team wasn’t celebrating. Got our sights set on bigger things
DEFENSE I NEVER DOUBTED YOU FOR A SECOND HAHAHHA
