Detroit Lions had a perfect end to their regular season. They defeated the Vikings 31-9, clinching the NFC North division. As the Lions roared louder, their head coach Dan Campbell’s wife, Holly couldn’t be more proud. She had a special message for them.
Taking to her official Instagram handle, Lions HC’s wife shared the captivating post. Along with sharing the vibrant picture of a lion, she exhibited her emotions. Her latest post featured a lion breathing fire against a grey background. It indeed perfectly goes with the current wins of her hubby’s team, as the Lions defeated Minnesota with a 31-9 score. And, her caption truly showcased her proud feeling at this moment. “It just doesn’t get any better than this!!!,” she mentioned in her post caption.
Not only this, but she also addressed Dan’s team as Kings of the North, mentioning #kingsofthenorth. Clearly, with this win, the Lions not only secured their NFC North division title but a first-round bye in the playoff as well. Thus she referred to them as, ‘Kings of the North.”
However, Holly’s support for the Lions did not capture attention for the first time. Just before starting the Lions–Vikings game, her unwavering support for her NFL hubby’s team went viral on social media. She made waves for sharing a juicy snap of her pizza order before Sunday’s clash.
Woodward Sports Network even highlighted Mrs. Campbell’s support through a Twitter post. Along with sharing the snap of the pizza box, they gave a hilarious caption to the post. “Dan Campbell even has the pizza boy wanting to bite kneecaps,” the post caption read.
On the other hand, the text mentioned on the pizza boxes also showcased support for the Lions. “One Pride. Destroy the Vikings!!! Biting kneecaps.” It was mentioned on the pizza boxes. Soon after Holly’s post surfaced on the internet, it gained much attention from her followers.
And, now her latest message also showcased her affection for the Lions. And, impressively, it came just after Jared Goff, the Lions QB’s defense sparked controversy with an intentional grounding in the first half of Sunday night’s game against the Vikings.
Campbell’s QB Jared Goff’s controversy leaves fans divided
During the Sunday decisive clash, Jared Goff left many shocked with his performance in the second quarter. In the game when Vikings defenders put pressure on QB, he dropped back and withdrew into his end zone with the ball at their 8-yard line.
Surprisingly, when Vikings linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. hit him, Goff kicked the ball into the turf just in front of him. After this shot, Brad Rogers, the lead official, declared that there was no intentional grounding penalty. Rogers acknowledged this by giving the reason that there was a receiver in the area.
After this, his playoff clip is making rounds on the internet. One of the X users highlighted his questionable throw. “Yeah, that’s intentional grounding,” he mentioned in the post, adding the clip.
Yet, Terry McAulay, an NBC rules analyst also expressed his opinion on Goff’s play. McAulay affirmed that it should’ve been a grounding penalty. “He needs to throw it in the direction and vicinity of the receiver,” he remarked. “He doesn’t throw it in the direction of 89 at all, he’s throwing it away from 89. I really believe this should’ve been a foul for intentional grounding.” A missed safety call prompted the drive to continue. However, the Vikings later secured a deflected interception. And, continuing further, they had to settle for a short field goal, as it narrowed the Lions’ lead to 7-3.But this is all past now. Dan Campbell’s Lions dominated the game afterward. This loss has pushed the Vikings into the Wild Card round. They’ll face the Rams on Jan 14 as the Lions will enjoy their bye week.
