The Detroit Lions brought good tidings and great joy to fans everywhere on Christmas Eve with a 30-26 win in Minnesota over the Vikings. The victory clinched Detroit’s first division title in 30 years and the first one since the NFL realigned into four divisions in each conference.
Fans are understandably excited. Many took to social media right after the game to share their glee over the Lions being the champions of the NFC North!
