The Detroit Lions have reserved their position beside the top-performing teams of the season. The Lions are among the five teams with a 5-1 record in the season right now. So the team is currently showing a lot of potential in the NFC division. Even in Week 6, they handed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers their season’s second defeat while securing a 20-6 win. Before this, they also won splendidly against the Carolina Panthers with a palindromic score of 42-24.
As it turned out, the Lions had to win the game as they were being watched by their superfan ‘Rap God’, Eminem. The rapper made another rare public appearance with his daughter Hailie Jade Scott at the Week 5 Lions game at Ford Field. The beloved team has recently reciprocated his love for the Lions, as they wished their fan on a special occasion.

The rapper joined the team, Detroit Lions, in their training camp, to get a glimpse at how the players train and get ready for big games. He talked about how when he usually throws a ball, it feels like a good throw. But when it’s on the field, it just reaches up to 10 yards. So, then he gets visited by the head coach of the Lions and has a good time.
Eminem also comments on the training methods of the players. He looks at Jared Goff making a throw, and he says, “There it is. That’s almost as good as me.” He then made another comment by saying, “One of these dudes hit me, I might f***ing die.”
