For those keeping score at home, the Lions last tasted divisional victory in 1993. Yes, you read that right, 19**. Nineteen-ninety-three!** Back when dial-up internet was the height of technology, Nirvana was rocking the airwaves, and frosted tips were all the rage.

But hold on to your Honolulu Blue hats, Lions fans! Because guess what? The wait is finally over! In the thrilling 2023 season, the Lions defied the odds (and some serious betting odds) to claim the NFC North crown. Cue the confetti, the celebratory Honolulu Blue jerseys (brought back by coach Dan Campbell, a man who clearly remembers the good ol' days), and the sheer, unadulterated joy of a city that finally got to roar with pride.

- Memes: Oh, there were memes. So many memes.
But hey, the wait made the victory all the sweeter. Right? Right?!
