Brad Holmes, the general manager of the Detroit Lions, never hides his emotions. Since he has one of his favorite players in the draft war room, he has gone insane. After Sunday night’s victory over the Los Angeles Rams, Holmes went above and above what we’ve seen in terms of his outbursts during road trips and victory celebrations with traveling Lions fans.
Here’s BRAD HOLMES SCREAMING IN AN ELEVATOR, for your introduction.
In a video that Mark Person took, Holmes can be seen joyfully shouting his head off in the midst of the packed elevator.

Clearly, this was a historic time for the Lions organization. Since the 1991 campaign, this is their first playoff victory. The Lions will be hosting two playoff games at home for the first time in their history. Additionally, Detroit is in a good position to potentially advance to the NFC Championship game.
However, Holmes himself was clearly playing a major role in this. He learned his trade and patiently awaited his chance to lead the Rams organization for eighteen years. Holmes was in a similar circumstance and probably had a range of emotions throughout the week, even though Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff dominated the stories of their matchups with their former teams.
Then everything was revealed at this amazing, funny moment. Every time you watch it fifty times, you’ll pick up fresh insights about other people’s reactions as well.
Now picture how Holmes will respond when the Lions start winning games even bigger than this one.
