How are Lions fans feeling after Bears’ thrilling win vs. Packers?

The NFL showed on Saturday why they’re the best league in professional American sports. Both Wild Card games were phenomenal, and the dramatic finishes in each game were jaw-dropping. But let’s put aside the thrilling Rams vs. Panthers finish, because the nightcap was far more interesting to Detroit Lions fans.

The Chicago Bears somehow mounted yet another fourth-quarter comeback against the Green Bay Packers in what is already a defining moment in Ben Johnson’s career as the Bears head coach. I got a sense from most Lions fans that they were rooting against Johnson and the Bears for obvious reasons: It’s tough to watch your offensive coordinator go out there and win the division and beat the Packers in the playoffs in his first year.

But there was also a strong contingent of Lions fans out there after Saturday’s outstanding drama reminding people that the Packers remain enemy No. 1—a sentiment I happen to agree with.

So today’s Question of the Day is:

How are you feeling after the Bears’ wild win over the Packers?

My answer: I was definitely among the people rooting against the Bears on Saturday night. For me, it was less about Ben Johnson and more about the Bears being exposed as somewhat fraudulent. Their defense is bad and over-reliant on turnovers, and the last-second comebacks are completely unsustainable. In both of those senses, Saturday was a miserable failure for those narratives. I mean, this statistic is absolutely ridiculous:

And as much as I hate to do it, I have to give the Bears defense credit for changing up their gameplan out of the half, making Jordan Love look uncomfortable for the final two quarters, and holding Green Bay to just six second-half points without even forcing a turnover. As for the comebacks, they can’t keep getting away with it, right???

All of that said, I was still grinning ear-to-ear after the game. For one, I just love dramatic, entertaining football. I’ll take that result any day over the Packers beating the Bears 42-0.

Additionally, the Packers just had their hearts ripped out. One of the most pompous and smug franchises in all of sports now has to sit there and come to terms with blowing an 11-point lead in the final five minutes to their biggest rival. They have to marinate in a 1-4 record in their last five playoff games. And now they have to seriously consider whether their coach—once billed as one of the winningest coaches in NFL history—is the right guy to lead them into the future.

So I’m still brimming with schadenfreude this wonderful Sunday morning, and no amount of “did you write this article from Cancun?” comments will hurt me.

Car crashes through Detroit Metro Airport’s McNamara Terminal

Car crashes through Detroit Metro Airport’s McNamara Terminal

Officials are investigating after a car drove through the entrance to Detroit Metro Airport’s McNamara Terminal on Friday, Jan. 23.

The crash took place about 7:30 p.m. Friday and the vehicle hit a ticket counter, the Wayne County Airport Authority said in a statement.

The driver was taken into custody, officials said. Six people were also treated by the authority’s fire department.

The cause of the crash was not immediately known.

Whatever the cause, it made a terrifying noise, said Michele Wheaton, 54, of Pontiac.

Wheaton said she’d just flown back in from a trip to Puerto Rico with loved ones on Friday evening when the crash happened.

She was on her way to the arrivals area to be picked up when she heard a loud bang with sounds of metal and glass, she said.

“I stopped and looked around like, ‘Did anyone hear this?’” she said. “’Cause you heard the loud crash and then you just heard people screaming.”

Wheaton saw apparent security officers running, she said. One yelled, saying a car had crashed into the Delta area and asking if anyone had called 911.

Her luggage already in hand, Wheaton booked it out of the building and to her ride, she said. She told her mom to drive away.

Though specifics of the incident have not been released, Wheaton expressed sorrow at the events of the evening and dangerous incidents that take place in public gathering spots.

“It’s so sad that you can’t travel, that you can’t go to the movies or your churches or your grocery stores,” she said.

Video circulating online following the incident showed a man in an apparent Detroit Lions jersey being taken into custody.

The airport authority’s police department is investigating.

Workers could be seen still working to clean around broken entrance doors about 10:15 p.m. Friday evening.

Detroit Tigers scheduled for 16 national TV games in 2026

Detroit Tigers scheduled for 16 national TV games in 2026

Fresh off a second-straight playoff appearance, the Detroit Tigers are a more attractive team for national television appearances than they have been in recent years.

With the release of Fox’s national MLB television schedule on Thursday, Jan. 22, and the release of TBS’s first-half national MLB television schedule on the same day, we have a good (but not complete) list of when the Tigers will be appearing on national TV in the 2026 regular season.

Nationally-televised games on Fox and TBS should be familiar exercises for Tigers fans, but there will be a new broadcaster in the mix this season, with NBC and Peacock picking up the Sunday Leadoff and Sunday Night Baseball broadcasts. The Tigers will be featured on Sunday Night Baseball at least three times this season, with only the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres appearing more with four each.

Where Tigers fans will be able to catch the local broadcasts is still yet to be determined, with the team canceling its broadcasting deal with FanDuel Sports Network on Jan. 8. But we at least have clarity on the national broadcasts, even if local broadcasts with FanDuel remain up in the air.

Here’s what you need to know about where to catch the Tigers in 2026.

Detroit Tigers 2026 national TV broadcast schedule

The Tigers currently have 16 nationally-televised games for the upcoming 2026 season, though that number may grow as TNT Sports has yet to release its second-half schedule for Tuesday TBS broadcasts.

Wednesday, April 8: Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, 7:30 p.m. ET (FS1).
