The Detroit Lions secured a playoff berth in spectacular fashion on Thursday with a nail-biting 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field. The win, achieved despite key players being sidelined, sparked emotional reactions from longtime Lions fans and broadcasters alike. Among them was Dan Miller, the iconic voice of Lions radio and host of Fox 2 Sports Works.
Miller, who has witnessed the team’s struggles through countless seasons, now finds himself celebrating what has become one of the best years in franchise history. With a remarkable 12-1 record in the 2024-2025 season, the Lions have emerged as Super Bowl favorites, even surpassing the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in some projections.
After the game, Miller shared a heartfelt message with fans, reflecting the pride and hope surrounding the team’s success.
“Alright guys. I’m going to bed. Love all of you. You make this ride so special. I don’t know where this is going, but I know we have an organization to be proud of @Lions,” Miller tweeted.
He praised the leadership of head coach Dan Campbell, the dedication of the players, and the resilience of the team. Miller gave special thanks to Ezekiel Turner, a standout defensive player called up from the practice squad amidst a wave of injuries, for his crucial contributions to the victory.
The Lions’ journey this season has reignited faith and excitement, making their playoff clinch a defining moment for the team and its loyal supporters.
