This fan base saw him lose four straight in the Super Bowl 30 years ago, and Lombardi finally deserves to hoist his trophy. The Buffalo Super Bowl Parade will be unlike anything the world has ever seen.
City of Detroit:
We're obsessed with our fan base. Like the Bills support, Lions fans are a long-suffering crew. Finally, the Lions gave them something to be excited about. Sunday night's Super Wild Card home victory over the Los Angeles Rams was the team's first playoff win in more than 30 years and the first playoff win at Ford Field in more than 20 years. It was a match. The city of Detroit needs something to unite against, and if the Lions win the Super Bowl, the entire city will be uplifted.
Jared Goff:
Lions quarterback Jared Goff is now owned by Detroit. He perfectly represents the city's grit and determination after being dumped by the Rams in the Matthew Stafford trade. Goff, who lost the Super Bowl to the Rams three years ago, watched Stafford lead the Rams to a Super Bowl championship in 2022 while the Lions were embarrassed by a losing season in his first season after the trade. It was a tough time for Goff, but he persevered and is now leading one of the best stories in the NFL.

Last year, the 49ers' season ended when quarterback Brock Purdy was injured in the NFC title game. Shanahan has come close many times before… maybe this is his year.
Trent Williams:
Trent Williams was the best tackle in the game, the leader of the 49ers, and he fully deserves to win the Super Bowl after being a part of the 49ers' disappointment in the 2020 Super Bowl.
