In just so damn happy about this. Been a lions fan my whole life. I actively watched the 0-16 season. This is incredible.

The “Buccaneers winning the North more recently than the Lions” jokes are officially dead

RIP meme

New jokes will be that the Lions have won as many Division Championships as the Bucs the last 30 years. Not as good, but still works.

was bucs first super bowl win with the new divisions?

Yeah that was already in the NFC south. They won the Central in 1999.

I'm so sad about this 😭

So, they have never won the NFC North before?

Nope. This is their first NFC North championship.

@Omegamanthethird @YoBuckStopsHere not the North but the old Central

Right. Which is why I said they haven't won the NFC North.

The Packers are 7 and 8.......
