This picture of Hutch may go unnoticed by some, but pay attention to the Latin words on his shirt, “Resurget Cineribus” — To Rise from the ashes.

History Lesson:

For those who may find this puzzling, in 1805, the entire city of Detroit burned to the ground, leaving only one building standing. In the aftermath, Territorial Judge Augustus Woodward devised a street plan modeled after Washington, D.C. The layout mirrored the design of the nation’s capital, featuring diagonal streets radiating like the spokes of a wheel.

On the Detroit City Flag, the inscription reads, “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” translating to “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” The City of Detroit literally rose from the ashes, symbolizing rebirth and resilience.

The city motto and the sports teams share a profound connection, especially in recent years with the consistent rebuilding efforts of each team. The Lions embody the essence of the motto, “Rise from ashes.” Just three years ago, the Detroit Lions had a first-year coach, an underrated quarterback, and a dismal 3-13-1 record. Today, they stand just one game away from a Super Bowl appearance.

So when the nation wonders why this Lions’ journey is so extraordinary, it’s because it mirrors the unique spirit of Detroit. Through unwavering determination and hard work, we rebuild until the product is perfected. Throughout history, there have been moments when Detroit moved the world, and now, once again, the city and its football team rise from the ashes to inspire us all.

Derek Lalonde said the #RedWings were so invested in the #Lions game last Sunday that they were glued to the TV after beating Toronto and “you could hear the roar from the locker room down the hallway when the guys won.”

Michiganders like Larkin, DeBrincat, Copp were “ecstatic.”

THE LIONS WIN THEIR FIRST PLAYOFF GAME IN 32 YEARS 🙌

[Megan Stefanski @blue_jeep]

I’ll be on the @SNFonNBC pregame around 7:50 tomorrow if anybody is interested in checking it out.

There will be one seat empty at Ford Field tomorrow. I feel after 30 years my dad deserves to have his seat so his jersey and ashes will be in Seat 14.

Let’s do this @Lions ✌🏻
