Detroit Lions fans care about their team no matter where they are.
A plane full of Lions fans headed towards Detroit International Airport made that known when a flight attendant interrupted the ending of “Sunday Night Football.”
A plane full of Lions fans was descending into Detroit Metro Airport on Sunday during the conclusion of the game between the Lions and the Texans when a flight attendant got on the microphone at the wrong time.
Her timing could not have been worse. As she clicked on the intercom right as Lions kicker Jake Bates was lining up his 52-yard field goal try with four seconds left in the tied game.
The flight attendant got to “Thank you” before she was met with multiple groans and people shouting “No!” throughout the cabin.
She actually apologized.
Seconds later, Detroit Lions fans on the flight would go crazy as Bates booted the ball up in the air.

The kick initially had mixed reactions. It started out badly before sliding just enough to the right for a successful attempt, giving Detroit an improbable win over Houston.
The flight attendant went right back to business, as she was able to get her final announcement.
Detroit Lions Put In Their Most Impressive Victory Of The Season
The Detroit Lions were down 23-7 at halftime against the Houston Texans.
The offense was bad, and so was the defense.
Both would change in the second half.
The Lions scored 19-straight points to pull off their most impressive and improbable victory of the year.
Somehow, they overcame Jared Goff, completing 15 of his 30 passes for 240 yards, two touchdowns, and five interceptions.
