🦁 TENSE: Caleb Williams Angers Detroit Lions Fans by Saying “They Suck!” — Aidan Hutchinson Immediately Responds with 5 Words That Leave Him Speechless
Detroit, MI – June 20, 2025 — The NFL world was flipped upside down this morning when Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams unleashed a controversial and direct insult toward one of the league’s most resurgent teams—the Detroit Lions.
During a live podcast appearance on The Unfiltered Zone, Williams didn’t hold back when asked about which NFC North team he thinks is the “easiest to beat.”
“The Lions? They suck. One lucky season doesn’t mean anything.”
The reaction? Instant fury across Detroit, and it wasn’t long before the heart and soul of the Lions defense—Aidan Hutchinson—delivered a cold, five-word response that left Caleb Williams (and the internet) completely silent:
“Come to Detroit and try.”
💥 A Rookie Lights a Fire in Motown
Williams, known for his confidence bordering on arrogance, continued:
“They had one good year and everyone’s acting like they’re a dynasty. Let’s see them do it again.”
The quote quickly hit social media platforms like wildfire. Within an hour, #TheySuck? and #LionsPride were trending in Michigan and across the league. Fans called it “disrespectful,” “clueless,” and “a rookie mistake of epic proportions.”
🧊 Hutchinson’s Icy Response: “Come to Detroit and try.”
In less than 90 minutes after the quote went viral, Aidan Hutchinson, the former No. 2 overall pick and cornerstone of the Lions’ defense, fired back with surgical precision.
He posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“Come to Detroit and try.”
That single sentence quickly amassed 13 million views, drawing praise from players, analysts, and fans alike.
“That’s how leaders respond,” said ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky.
“No yelling, no trash talk. Just a dare. And you know Hutch means every word.”

The entire Lions organization, from front office to fans in the Motor City, seemed united behind their star edge rusher. According to sources, Coach Dan Campbell addressed the team simply with:
“Let’s not talk. Let’s show.”
🚨 Rookie Mistake or Strategic Hype?

“This isn’t the 2018 Lions,” said NFL Network’s Peter Schrager.
“This is a playoff-tested team with something to prove.”
