Once again, the world needed heroes and the football community answered the call. When the good hospital workers of Michigan needed football, the Lions got the job done.

As a massive Detroit Lions fan, I couldn’t be happier. I couldn’t be happier at all to see my team step up and get the job done.

I know I rip the Lions a lot because we don’t win as often as we should on the field. Trust me, none of this changes that fact.

At the same time, it’s important to remember that some things are bigger than the scoreboard. Making sure the hospital workers on the front lines have access to food right now is a big priority.

The Lions stepped up and partnered with local organizations as well as the men and women fighting coronavirus. That’s the kind of stuff we love to see.
