History of the Detroit Lions

The Lions won the NFL championships four times between 1935 and 1957, but none in the Super Bowl era. The Lions have largely failed to be a force to be reckoned with in the NFL in recent seasons with underwhelming season after another. The last time the Lions got past the NFC Wild Card game was in 1991 when they won their division and beat the Dallas Cowboys before losing to Washington in the NFC Championship game.

The lack of playoff success is a surprise throughout the majority of the 1990s when you consider they had one of the best running backs lining up behind the quarterback. Barry Sanders. When Sanders shocked the game by retiring in 1998, he was second only to Walter Payton in the NFL's all-time rushing yards. The Lions retired his #20 shirt in 2004 and Sanders, who rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his 10 seasons in Detroit, was inducted into the Hall of Fame the same year.

However, the lack of a solid, reliable quarterback meant the Lions were one dimensional and while teams struggled to stop Sanders, they were able to limit their passing attack. After Sanders hung his cleats up, the struggles got worse for Detroit and they became the first team to go 0-16 during a season, accomplishing the dubious feat in 2008. 

That 2008 season was the second for wide receiver Calvin Johnson who put up massive numbers in his nine-season career in Detroit, before he retired in 2016. Johnson, or 'Megatron' as he was affectionately called because of his receiving skills, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2021. Like many teams, the Lions have had some of the best players to place the game, but just not at the same time. 

The Lions continue to build a roster hoping it will bring some much needed success to Ford Field. Every so often they can upset the odds by beating better teams and as the saying goes, on any given Sunday, they can beat anyone.
