Sunday Sports Club Podcast<\/a>, where she\u00a0dove into some of the obstacles the family has faced throughout Dan\u2019s career.<\/p>\nAdvertisement<\/p>\n
She began by emphasizing just how much she loves Detroit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe loved it when Dan played here. We love it now. The people are great. The excitement \u2014 being in the building, you just feel good, but it really does start from the top. Sheila is an amazing owner,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
But when it comes down to it, Holly says the fans are the best part.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are so loyal. When you\u2019re winning \u2014 and right now, a lot of the teams are successful, not just the Lions, like the Pistons and the Tigers, and I think the Red Wings are doing pretty well too \u2026 you can feel the excitement in the city, and Detroit deserves it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

But this football season wasn\u2019t what many Lions fans had hoped for. The pair touched on the disappointment that comes with not making the playoffs and how they navigate that together. She says sometimes it\u2019s just not your year\u2014an answer Dan wouldn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy husband would be like, \u2018You don\u2019t make excuses\u2019, but from the wife who watches him busting his butt and feels so bad for him, there are excuses,\u201d she said, laughing. \u201cThere are things that happened. \u2026 When you lose an entire position pretty much, it\u2019s harder. You have a gaping hole in one of your most important units that you didn\u2019t know you were gonna have until the last second.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said Dan still wouldn\u2019t go for that\u2014that there were chances to win in every game the Lions played, but she likes to defend him anyway.<\/p>\n
Another part of their relationship, she says, is gauging what he needs after a loss. She emphasized Dan would never be outwardly angry, but she can feel when he\u2019s upset.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally after a loss we\u2019ll talk a little bit if he feels like it and then he sits down at the kitchen table and starts watching film,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
