Fired ex-team president Tom Lewand congratulates Lions on win

Former Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand, who was fired by the franchise earlier this month, tweeted for the first time in 780 days on Sunday, and it was to congratulate the team that let him go.

Seconds after the Lions hung on for an 18-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers, which was their first win in Wisconsin since 1991, Lewand tweeted how happy he was for the organization, including owner Martha Ford and her family and coach Jim Caldwell.

Amazing win @Lions!! Could not be happier for the Fords, Coach Caldwell, the players, and the entire organization.
