That is sickening... the @NFL needs to look at a way to prevent that from happening. Two phantom hands to the face calls really hurts us tonight. Yes, we could have scored TDs, but @Lions played too well to have the game end this way. #DETvsGB@espn
I heard coach say that last night, & it really hit me. Here's a guy who coached the greatest @NFL dynasties, & I was his biggest problem? That felt good to hear Coach. A huge compliment. Made my night.

#PMSDraftSpectacular
Hey @AshtonJeanty2 - Wishing you luck tonight.
My fans can gripe, but records are made to be broken & I am rooting for you. I love seeing all these @NFL and @NCAA#RBs showing the value of the position. #RunTheRock
I want to suit up for this guy! I have been saying this since the @NFLDraft - This is our year. They can't break us because this guy is our spine!
Let's Go @Lions
Congrats to @saquon - I know you wanted to stay with one team, but life has funny turns. No matter what, the character you have as a young man will carry you thru all you face. Can wait to see you run that rock.
@Eagles@NFL
You can't underestimate the impact #JimBrown had on the @NFL. He will be greatly missed.
Additionally, his generosity and friendship with my family is a gift that we will always treasure.
Our thoughts & prayers are with the Brown Family & @Browns fans at this time.
We are heartbroken by the passing of the legendary Jim Brown.
One of the greatest players in NFL history, a true pioneer and activist. Jim Brown’s legacy will live on forever. 🕊️
Just wanted to send out a quick note thanking #MattStafford and his family for all they have done for the team, the fans and the city. @Lions@RamsNFL@NFL
My seat won't be as good today. I am flying back to #Detroit right now, but my heart and soul are with the Fords, and @Lions coaches, players and fans at @fordfield today. #RoarForOneMore Be louder today.
I know that no one on the @lions can say it, so I will... that is a terrible missed call, on hands to the face and bad break for our D that is playing so hard. #replayhelpneeded
I am so humbled to be included on the roster for the @nfl's All-Time Team. I am in the company of so many greats on that list and some of my greatest role models. Thank you to the league for this honor and thank you to my fans for all of the support over the years! #NFL100
.@Lions RB @MontgomerDavid produces a rushing TD for the 3rd-straight game.
He is the first Lion to rush for a TD in each of his first three games with the team since RB @BarrySanders in 1989.
He also surpassed 5,000-career scrimmage yards on the night.
#OnePride
Last night my youngest went off - The starter cramped up and Noah got a shot - he ran for 125 on 18 carries - 3 TDs including 2 long nice runs and long reception. So proud of you son! Love that burst to finish here.
@BhamGrovesFB
.@PatMcAfeeShow is dead right. We rushed for 2053 yards in 1997 and they split the #MVP between Brett and I. I hope that do that for @saquon and his line.
Let's give away one more @PaniniAmerica card - the @Lions & @NFL fans love the new batch of #PersonalSamples they sent over for me to give away - so retweet this and follow me for a chance to win this triple inscribed #prizm beauty - #SandersSponsors
To the Ford Family, team leadership, coaches, players, & the best 12th man advantage in the history of the @NFL - THE @Lions FANS.
From game 1 you traveled with us and #ROARED in a way no other fanbase ever has. Since I came to Detroit we play for you. We will be back. #GRIT
I want congratulate #AaronGlenn & #BenJohnson on their new posts. What you helped the @lions build will always be treasured & appreciated.
For fans I remind you that my trust in Shiela, Rod, Brad, and Dan is unwavering. They will not rest until the #Lomardi is in the #313
Just wanted to send out a quick note thanking the @Lions@NFL fans. You guys have always been with me. Every win. Every Loss. We rode those together. The 1 time I was always at peace was on the field. And we will always have those moments together. Happy Holidays & Thanks
Thanks @saquon - Honored that you took the time to do this. At 51, I am just lucky any of the next generation of great RBs remembers who I am. Good luck this season.
Hey @JerryRice - can't wait to see you this weekend. Looking forward to catching up. We might not be able to sit in the same suite though. Lol. @Lions@49ers Let's go #RoarNation.
Hey @EASPORTS_MUT@EASPORTS@EAMaddenNFL gamers & fans.... Breaking News.
I have decided after many years to discontinue my relationship with the brand & the products.
I apologize for those that were expecting me in the games.
I leave you with #CyberBarry@Lions@NFL@NFLPA
Probably the toughest decision that I have faced. The hardest part was the fans... but I hope over the last 25 years I have made the city proud. I love Detroit. Still live here. Always will.
Ashton Jeanty finishes the season as the No. 2 all-time single season rushing leader behind only @BarrySanders 💪
What a legendary season from the @BroncoSportsFB RB 👏
The NFC Championship game. So many memories flooding back. A great day for football. Everything we have worked for is in front of us. Let's go @Lions#ROAR
We all hail the incredible career of @TomBrady - his 1,123 career rushing yards are truly amazing. Seriously congrats on 1 of the greatest pro sports careers ever. Wishing you & your family everything you dream of in retirement. @nfl@NFLPA@Patriots@Buccaneers
Congrats to all @NBA draftees, but a special Welcome home to @iveyjaden & congrats to @detroitpistons on a great draft.
I knew your grandfather James Hunter & I know he would be proud of you.
Can't wait to see you in action this season. #Detroit
Despite being double vaccinated, wearing a mask, and taking all the precautions I could... I tested positive for COVID. I don't have any symptoms, but am staying in until I get the green light from the Docs. I will be ready to go for @49ers on 9/12 @Lions@NFL
His last name is Sanders, and he wears No. 20.
Nick Sanders, the son of @NFL Hall of Famer @BarrySanders, entered the game in the final minute of @MSU_Basketball's exhibition win tonight. 👏
My town, #Detroit showed the world what we are about. 700,000 and counting at the @NFLDraft - so proud to be a Detroiter, and I am hoping you all come and visit #Michigan soon. That is worth a ball spike for sure. Congrats
@PureMichigan@MEDC
Hey, my kids educated me on @Ninja and I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your attitude. Keep using your fame to help others. Maybe someday you could give me a lesson on @FortniteFR
As @Lions fans we have had two seasons end before we wanted in a row, & I see great things ahead...
I want you all to remember, this is a new team with a winning culture.
This message is for @Lions fans everywhere & for me - The #Roar has never been louder.
Next Stop @NFLDraft
Congrats to the entire team and staff on a huge payback road win.
I've been waiting to see our full D & O on the field since early last season.
It was really fun to watch.
#OurYear#ROAR@Lions
I have been saying this for a long time. @Lions fans should be praising the Ford family even louder than ever. They are building a winner for the long run in Detroit. Still - There is more out there for us this year! #Grit#ROAR
Sheila Ford Hamp is THE BEST owner in Detroit sports
- Hired Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell
- Repaired relationship with Calvin Johnson
- Barry Sanders statue built
- NFC North Champs for first time in 30 years
The gift that keeps on giving.
Unless you’ve rushed for 100 yards in an NFL game with an ostrich egg on your head while wearing a pair of Chuck Taylors, I don’t want to hear how tough you are.
You know this award is going to a QB @ShannonSharpe
I rushed for 2000 yards in 97 and they made me co-MVP with @BrettFavre - I do think there is a shot #Christian will split it with (Insert QB here).
