00:00 John at last the Lions have won a playoff game for the first time in 32 years.
00:04 Three plus decades have not won a playoff game.
00:07 All that now in the past.
00:09 These Lions victorious on Sunday against the LA Rams.
00:12 What do you make of that victory?
00:14 A big one for the Lions at Ford Field.
00:17 Yeah, Vito.
00:18 Really can be looked at as a franchise altering victory.
00:21 You realized what a week it was for the Detroit Lions.
00:25 All the narratives surrounding Jared Goff facing his old team.
00:28 Matthew Stafford coming back to Ford Field.
00:31 And you looked at the game.
00:32 Both quarterbacks played well.
00:34 Matthew Stafford slinging all over the place.
00:36 You've seen Puka Nakua, a wide receiver that many people are excited about.
00:41 Highly touted. Making plays.
00:43 And it was a hard fought contest.
00:45 And the crowd at Ford Field really was behind the Detroit Lions.
00:49 One of the most festive atmospheres I've ever been around.
00:52 From the moment the fans were allowed into the building.
00:55 They were chanting.
00:56 They were excited.
00:57 The support that they showed Jared Goff.
00:59 Chanting his name prior to the game.
01:02 And you recognize that, hey, if this was how the team was going to advance.
01:07 A hard fought contest.
01:08 Having the football late.
01:09 Trusting Jared Goff and Amon Ross St. Brown.
01:12 I think the Detroit Lions fan base was quite excited, shocked and relieved.
01:18 That the game was over.
01:20 A one point victory over the Rams.
01:22 And a familiar face.
01:23 Matthew Stafford has to now.
01:25 His season's over.
01:26 And you recognize the Detroit Lions have advanced.
01:29 Into the divisional round of the postseason.
01:32 And for Envito, look at it like this.
01:35 This is an organization that just quite frankly hasn't had a lot of positive press.
01:39 Not a lot of good memories.
01:41 And for this football team and where they are in their rebuild.
01:45 Advancing in the postseason is so.
01:48 Is very vital to Dan Campbell's regime.
01:51 And for the future.
01:52 So for the Detroit Lions it was a positive week.
01:55 A great experience.
01:56 And now.
01:57 An opportunity.
01:58 Potentially to make waves.
02:00 To make a run in this year's playoff.
02:03 Adios Matthew Stafford.
02:04 John thanks for all the time.
