The most popular chant in Detroit got its start in the last row at Ford Field

It’s one scenario, accurate who knows as is said in the article.

A year ago Tuesday, the Lions beat the Rams for their first postseason victory in 32 years. It was an electric atmosphere, with many of the 66,367 fans in attendance cramming into Ford Field more than an hour before the game.

And it gave rise to arguably the most famous chant in Detroit sports history.

“JA-RED GOFF! JA-RED GOFF!”

In the 12 months since, the chant has become ubiquitous, showing up at random times in random places. Airports. Grocery stores. Hockey games across the state. NFL games in other states. Soccer games in other countries.

This is the story of how the chant came to be, or one family’s version of it, at least.

I saw a video of the chant at a Pittsburgh game near the end of the game recently.

I was at the Rams playoff game and the chant actually started in the concourse pregame.

I always thought it started as the fans way of saying F you to Matthew Stafford.

It started on a night when Stafford got bood.

I thought it was the fans way of saying, “thank you, Sean McVay”?

Too funny.

In all actuality I recall the timeline being Stafford goes on to the field and hearing “booooooooooooooooooo. Jared Goff. Jared Goff. Jared Goff.”

I was chanting “60 Million” during the Cowboys game… Their fans were not amused… Dak Prescott doesn’t really roll off the tounge for a chant.
