Why You Might’ve Missed The Dillon Lions Winning State In Friday Night Lights

Although Friday Night Lights intentionally avoids revealing the outcome of the Dillion Lions’ final State championship game, one subtle detail gives away its result. Inspired by H. G. Bissinger’s book of the same name, Friday Night Lights is less about football and more about the lives of the people linked with the sport in the fictional town of Dillon. The show uses football as a conduit for coming-of-age themes that are universally relatable. For instance, with Jason Street’s storyline, the show’s opening arcs walk through the all struggles the former football star faces after an injury leaves him paralyzed below his legs.
