Losing stinks. Nobody knows that more than everyone involved with the Detriot Lions, who hadn’t won a NFL game since Dec. 6, 2020. That’s 364 days, which is a long time!
Well, things got better for Detroit on Sunday as Jared Goff recovered from a very bad fumble and led the team to a dramatic victory with a TD pass after time had expired. It was an incredible ending to a long win streak that must have been rough for the Lions and their fans.
Dan Campbell finally got his first first win as head coach of the Lions and his celebration after the TD was so good.
Look at how much this meant to him:
