When the Detroit Lions home finale moved to the two-minute warning, Ford Field played a video over the big screens unannounced. With the Lions already up 41-10 and the game already in hand, the home crowd—which was maybe at half capacity after many had left early—were eerily silent and attentive to the video.
The video was about 90 seconds long and showcased the wild journey that was the Detroit Lions’ 2022 season. It showed lowlights from the first half of the season, with Lions play-by-play announcer Dan Miller dejectedly talking about the team’s 1-6 start. Then it showed Lions owner Sheila Hamp telling the media that she had full confidence in this regime from her midseason press conference.
