A compilation of reaction videos to the Detroit Lions’ thrilling comeback win over the Texans.
The Detroit Lions pulled off one of the most improbable wins of 2024 on “Sunday Night Football” against the Houston Texans . Not only were they down 16 points at halftime, but Jared Goff threw an additional two interceptions in the second half (to go with his three first-half interceptions) to make Detroit’s climb back into the game even more difficult.
But the Lions defense was immaculate most of the night, and kicker Jake Bates delivered in the clutch with a 58-yard game-tying field goal and a 52-yard, game-winning field goal, both in the final five minutes of the game.
Winning is somehow no longer unfamiliar for this franchise, but wins like that don’t come very often for anyone. So Lions fans around the world were understandably going nuts. Here’s a smattering of videos taken at the moment of Detroit’s victory.
First, let’s start with a little unofficial Pride of Detroit get-together out in Los Angeles. Here’s a video taken by our own Chris Perfett from the Drugstore Cowboy bar in California:
