"I'm certain for the first time in history, a different city in a different country has raised the Detroit Lions flag and we're proud here in the City of Windsor to support our brothers and sisters in the city of Detroit. Let's go Detroit Lions," Renaldo Agostino with the City Council of Windsor said. 

Some councilors said they're excited to see the Lions do this good in their lifetime.

The Lions are also growing a fan base overseas, among an English football club, also named the Lions. 

Shaun Hutchinson from Millwall FC shared a video on social media. 

He traded jerseys with the Lions' defensive end Aidan Hutchinson.

Locally, in Shelby Township, the Police Department showed the Lion's pride by wearing their gear to work.
