The Shockingly Awful History Of The Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions are really good this year.

At 4-0, they have a great chance of making the playoffs for the first time this millennium.

Since winning the old NFL Championship Game in 1957, they've been one of the worst franchises in sports.

How bad have they been?

You might be surprised.

They've won one playoff game since 1957

Detroit has only been to the playoffs nine times in the last 53 years.

They're 1-9 with their only win coming in 1991 against Dallas. The Lions were promptly killed 41-10 by Washington in the conference championship game the next week.

They've drafted in the top 5 nine times since 1980

It's not just that the Lions have been bad. It's that they've been DREADFUL.

In nearly one third of the last 30 seasons, they've been among the worst of the worst in pro football.

They've only had double-digit wins five times since 1957

To put that in prospective, the Patriots have had at least 10 wins eight seasons in a row.
