The 1991 Detroit Lions were a special team. Led by head coach Wayne Fontes, they remain the only Lions team to win a postseason game in the Super Bowl era.
As part of the Detroit Lions Podcast 24-hour podcast for St. Jude’s, we were able to bring back together three members of Lions royalty from that wonderful season 30 years ago. We had wide receiver Herman Moore and left tackle Lomas Brown surprise coach Fontes during a phone call that coach was only expecting to talk to the hosts.
What followed is one of the reasons why that team was so special. They shared stories, they reminisced, they spoke openly of their love for one another as a team and as coach and players. It was an inspirational conversation that I am incredibly proud to be a fly on the wall as a co-host. The genuine love and respect these great Lions still share 30 years later is exactly what we want to see from the new edition of the Lions.
Enjoy this incredible walk down Detroit memory lane!
