Those Were the Days (Not Really)
You have to rewind all the way back to January 5th, 1992 to find the last time the Lions emerged victorious in the playoffs. Yes, you read that right, 1992! Back when Nirvana was rocking the airwaves, George H.W. Bush was in office, and the internet was still in its infancy.
