Nick Saban's daughter Kristen feels for Jared Goff's Detroit Lions as Brock Purdy ensures Super Bowl LVIII ticket: "Woke up with heavy heart"

Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban was left feeling heart-broken for the Detroit Lions after their NFC Championship game loss at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers.

After a successful campaign, Lions quarterback Jared Goff was successful in leading his team to their first division title since 1993, ending the NFL's second-longest division title drought after a victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

However, his dream of clinching a Super Bowl was shattered after the 49ers made an impressive comeback with a 34-31 final score. Following the game, Kristen Saban took to social media to empathize for the Lions and their inspiring journey this season.

Kristen shared a tweet on X where she said that her heart goes out to the Detroit Lions. The team put up an impressive fight, but in the end, it wasn't enough to secure a spot in Super Bowl LVIII:

"Woke up with a heavy heart for the Detroit Lions. They were so close man."

The 49ers will now face the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs for a shot at the Lombardi trophy on Feb. 11. It will be interesting to see who Kristen Saban will be cheering on in the Super Bowl game set to be held in Las Vegas.
