Learn the Lyrics to the Detroit Lions Fight Song
If you’re a fan of the Lions, you probably know the lyrics to the Detroit Lions fight song. Some think it’s great and some may beg to differ. The truth is though, the crowd goes nuts when we hear that first line, “Forward down the field….” because it means we’ve scored a TOUCHDOWN!
If you’re headed to a game, make sure you know the lyrics to the Detroit Lions Fight song!
The Lions had quite a few seasons where hearing the fight song was few and far between. That has changed this year though, and the Detroit Lions are looking pretty good! (Let’s not focus on that game against Baltimore.)
I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t know all the lyrics to the Detroit Lions fight song, but now we can learn! Theo ‘Gridiron’ Spight put out a lyric video which you can check out below. Study up, because I have a feeling we’ll be singing this quite a bit over the next few seasons!
The Lions are finally getting recognized nationally, and despite a recent setback, the 2023 season has started strong. The team has played two Thursday night games, been flexed to an afternoon game and has a Monday night game on the horizon. Dan Campbell has gifted us with some of the greatest quotes in football history.
Let’s be honest, the team has never been a number one contender, but they’ve had their victories. The Lions took on the Eagles for the Thanksgiving game back in 2015 and completely throttled them! My dad is from Philly and my brother came to Detroit for that particular game. He is a massive Eagles fan and watching the Lions win that game 45-14 was pretty great. That was a time when the Eagles weren’t as stacked as they are now. He definitely was laughing about our fight song, but we pulled off the win.
Our boys in Honolulu Blue have been turning heads the first seven weeks of the season. Even though we were called “frauds” recently, the fan base is ready to rock and support our team. What better way to do that than to sing the Detroit Lions fight song at the top of your lungs?
5 Greatest Moments In Lions History
The Fake Spike
GREEN BAY, WI – DECEMBER 09: Matthew Stafford #9 of the Detroit Lions celebrates in the end zone after scoring against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on December 9, 2012 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
With just a little over 1 minute left in the game former Lions Quarterback Matthew Stafford marched his team down the field for a score. It wasn’t just that he got the comeback win, it was also how he did it. After completing a 22 yard pass to Wide Receiver Calvin Johnson, the ball was placed at the 1 yard line with under 30 seconds left. With no timeouts Stafford motioned his team to quickly get to the line so they could spike the ball and stop the clock. Instead when the ball was snapped Stafford dove into the endzone for the game winning touchdown!

DETROIT, MICHIGAN – JANUARY 03: Matthew Stafford #9 of the Detroit Lions celebrates a touchdown during the fourth quarter of the game against the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field on January 03, 2021 in Detroit, Michigan.
The game that won Lions fans over. Matthew Stafford played out of his mind against the Cleveland Browns, passing for 422 Yards and 5 Touchdowns in a last second win. Stafford shows Detroit fans that he is tough as nails in this game, as he gets drilled as time expires and visibly injures his throwing shoulder on the play. The Lions got an extra shot after the play since there was a penalty in the endzone. Stafford refused to sit out for the last play, stayed in and threw the game winning score!

Here are the highlights from that game!Kicking Aaron Rodgers out of Green Bay
I know former Green Bay Quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn’t simply leave the team because the Lions beat him twice in 1 year. However it definitely didn’t give him more of a reason to stay. Knowing the last time he was in a Packers uniform was when he was handed a season ending defeat at the hand of the Detroit Lions. This game also turned out to be a type of “prove it” game for Detroit fans, putting their confidence in this squad at and all-time high heading into the next season.
