A Teary Dan Campbell Gave His Best Postgame Speech of the Year After Lions’ Win Over Buccaneers

The Detroit Lions’ dream season had another magical moment Sunday, as they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 31–23, at home to advance to the NFC championship game for the first time since the 1991 season. 

Dan Campbell has done a masterful job of turning around the franchise during his three years as the Lions' head coach, and he rightfully got emotional while giving his postgame speech in the locker room after the game. 

Campbell has had a number of awesome speeches this year but this one tops them all because of his raw emotion, and also because of where this team now stands after picking up a second straight playoff win after going 32 years without winning one. 

This is great: 

The Lions will travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers in the NFC title game next Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. A win would put them in the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history.
