Detroit Lions Share What Winning NFC North Means to Team

Here is a collection of what Detroit Lions players told All Lions winning the division would mean to them and the team. 

Alex Anzalone

“It’s big. It’s big time. I think it’s big for the city, big for the fans and obviously it was our number one goal this year. So we know we’ve got to do it this week.”

Jalen Reeves-Maybin

“It would be great, taking this division. I think we’re just focused on building, winning each week, one week at a time. So not trying to get too high on it, but let’s go out here and get it done Sunday.”

Will Harris

“It’s gonna mean a lot. Especially, a lot of these guys have been here a long time, man. It’s good to be able to come out of the other side of it and see this side. Put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it so it’ll definitely be memorable for everybody here.”

John Cominsky

“It would mean everything. I haven’t been to the playoffs in my five years yet, so it’d be a first for me. So individually, it’d be really special that way to win the division. And then to this team, this is everything we’ve worked for and there’s bumps along the road and you go through adversity and hills and valleys. To come out on top would be really special, just to show that all that hard work paid off.”

Frank Ragnow

"This team, this city, after all the down years since I’ve been here and obviously that the fans have gone through before, I don’t know that there’s words to describe how cool it would be.”

Jahmyr Gibbs

“It would mean a lot. It’s something that hasn’t happened here for a very long time. So it’ll be fun to celebrate with the team and the fans and the fan base and stuff.”

Jack Campbell

“It’d mean a lot. Obviously that’s one of the goals when you start the season. Obviously everyone’s fixated on the Super Bowl, but in order to get to the Super Bowl, usually you’ve got to win your division. That would be huge, but at the same time, just taking it one week at a time right now, still focused on Minnesota. We go up there, do our thing and let the chips fall where they’re gonna fall. It’ll be a good challenge for us.”
