The Detroit Lions 10 best moments of the last 10 years (video)
By Mike Payton
3. BACK TO THE PLAYOFFS.(2011)
That’s a pretty catchy song in the video right? 2011 ended the Lions 12 year playoff drought. The season could have been better as the Lions got in by the skin of their teeth. But nonetheless it was great to see the Lions play in January again. For me this season was special because I was in Ford Field the night the Lions beat the Chargers to clinch the playoffs. I remember hugging people I didn’t even know and seeing tears falling from grown men’s eyes. Ok I teared up a little too, so what. It was such a happy moment. The Lions got routed in the first round against the Saints, but the season overall was pretty fun and the Lions adopted the cardiac cats nickname. Which brings me to my next point.
