The Detroit Lions have stunned the San Francisco 49ers in the first half and the team’s super fans and legends like Barry Sanders and Eminem are in Santa Clara taking in the action.
Although they entered the NFC Championship as as significant underdog, the Lions — who have never reached a Super Bowl in team history, have completely dominated Kyle Shanahans San Francisco 49ers after the first 30 minutes.
Jared Goff and the Lions dominated the 49ers defense in a stunning first half in San Francisco.
’Offensively, offensive coordinator has called a brilliant game so far. The Detroit Lions have used a balance of running and passing to put up 280 yards of total offense, while holding the 49ers to just 131 total yards and 31 on the ground.
Detroit dominated the San Francisco 49ers in time of possession, holding the ball for more than 18 minutes and were efficient, converting 5-of-7 of its third down attempts and Eminem was loving every minute of it.
They won the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball while rumbling to 148 first-half rushing yards against a strong 49ers defensive front en route to a 24-7 halftime lead. Can the they keep it up to make it two upsets of No. 1 seeds in two games on Sunday? Or will the 49ers mount a rally in the second half?
The winner gets the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

If the Detroit Lions can pull it off, the Super Bowl will be highlighted by two of the biggest celebrities in the United States in attendance cheering for their teams.
Celebrity appearances are always happening at professional sporting events and the NFL is no different, with superstar fans coming out to support superstar athletes. Two of the most prominent faces at games during the NFL playoffs are singer Taylor Swift and rapper Eminem.
Swift, originally a Philadelphia Eagles fan from Pennsylvania, has found a new team in the Kansas City Chiefs since she began dating star tight end Travis Kelce.
The Grammy winner is often seen in the suites alongside Kelce’s parents, Patrick Mahomes’ wife, businesswoman Brittany Mahomes and other celebrity fans. Last week, Swift was cheering on the Chiefs with model Cara Delevingne. Eagles center Jason Kelce, brother of Travis, was also in the suite, though he did not stay there the entire time. Enjoying a few beverages, Jason found himself leaping out of the suite and interacting
The Detroit Lions also have a Grammy winner pulling for them. Rapper Eminem, a Detroit native, is a long-time Lions fan and is pulling for the team to continue their historic run. Eminem has made hype videos for the team and has even made an offerto head coach Dan Campbell to play in the games if needed.
If the Lions make the Super Bowl, their famous fans will likely make the trip as well and we will get more entertaining pregame videos from the Real Slim Shady, while pop superstar Taylor Swift cheers on her Chiefs.
