On Sunday Detroit legend Eminem was again in a skybox watching the game from above, and the big screen flashed a now-legendary September tweet from the rapper, “Let’s f–king go!!!! Detroit.”
Fans were hyped as the stadium speakers played Eminem’s 8 Mile pump-up anthem, “Lose Yourself.”
However, when the cameras panned Slim Shady in the box, the MC, dressed in Lions gear, jumped up, flexed hard, and screamed before pounding his chest and sitting down, capturing the sheer joy of long-suffering Lions fans as they watched their hometown heroes beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23.

The Lions move on to the NFC Championship where they will take on the 49’ers on Sunday at 5:30pm for the right to play in the Super Bowl.
Eminem replied to a meme depicting his 8 Mile character B-Rabbit driving around town with, “[Lions QB Jared] Goff and the Lions pulling up to the NFC Championship game,” saying, “Can’t believe I did it again!!! @Lions.”
