Detroit Lions fans truly put on a show Sunday night, and that includes rapping a hit Eminem song.

The Lions started their playoff run with an electric 24-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams. It was the first postseason for Detroit in more than 30 years, and the first of my lifetime.

What an incredible run the team has been on all season. Everyone has bought into what Dan Campbell is building, and that includes the fans.

Lions fans rap Eminem song.

The Detroit faithful brought the heat Sunday night and didn’t hold back. Late in the first quarter, Michigan native Eminem hopped on the jumbotron to amp Ford Field up, and he was met with a roar of approval……that led to “Lose Yourself” being rapped by a packed stadium.

I could watch videos of Lions fans celebrating the team’s first home playoff game in 30 years all day long.

The fans have had virtually nothing to celebrate since the team’s last home playoff game, and it seems like the franchise is cursed. The Lions had Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford, and yet, managed to accomplish nothing with any of them.

Arguably the most gifted running back and wide receiver in league history, and nothing. Now, there’s a new tone and conversation surrounding the team.

It’s all about winning and winning at the highest level possible. Fans have waited two generations for this kind of spark, and the fact the stadium was rapping “Lose Yourself” while hammering the Rams early in the game is just the cherry on top.
