Detroit Lions fans are still celebrating an incredible season, despite a loss in the NFC Championship to the San Francisco 49ers.

The Lions became one of the most popular teams in the NFL, won their division for the first time in three decades, won two playoff games and nearly made the Super Bowl in Dan Campbell's third year as head coach.
