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.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
The Quest for the Elusive "W"
Since then, it's been a rollercoaster ride of disappointment (mostly downs, with a few near-misses sprinkled in). There have been heartbreaking losses, questionable coaching decisions, and enough dropped passes to make even the most patient fan want to tear their hair out.
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
But fear not, Detroit faithful! There's always hope, right? Maybe this year will be the year the Lions break the curse and finally notch a playoff win. Just don't bet the house on it.
