They did it!

 They actually did it. For the first time in my life, the Detroit Lions have won a playoff game. And it feels amazing. 

I woke up at 1 to watch the end of the Packers-Cowboys with Ari, but he left early due to it being a blowout. During the entire Lions game, I couldn't breathe properly, but it was so exciting. I stood for most of the 4th quarter, jumping around when Goff completed the final pass to Saint to end it.

It was a legendary game, with storylines up the wazoo. But we actually beat Stafford, and asserted Jared goff as our QB. Campbell did what he said he would, and had a wonderful day coaching. The draft picks from Holmes are panning out. 

I am so excited to be in this era of Lions football, that my dad had long thought impossible. Was a little bummed we couldn't watch this one together, but am excited to watch the next one. 

I imagine I will be watching these highlights on YouTube for the next 45 years or so.
