The Detroit Lions were about to win the NFC Title this time. However, the San Francisco 49ers, who are known as second-half specialists, made a strong comeback in the fourth quarter, pulling away a 3-point win from them. Although the Niners fans are enthralled at the moment, the Lions’ fans, especially Eminem, are disappointed, yet proud of their favorite team.

Eminem has often been seen at Ford Field, and he even recorded a fun video before his Lions’ wildcard playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams. In the video, he asked former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford to “let us have this one,” via a rap. This time the rapper traveled to support his team in San Francisco, where he witnessed his team’s potential winning hopes collapsing.
