The Detroit Lions: Masters of the Moral Victory... Again?
Ah, the Detroit Lions. A team that inspires such devotion, it practically borders on Stockholm Syndrome. But hey, at least they're our Stockholm Syndrome! Every year, we pour our hearts (and maybe a questionable amount of beer) into cheering them on, only to be left with that familiar post-game feeling that can only be described as "slightly less enthusiastic about existence."
So, the burning question on everyone's mind (besides, "when will the existential dread subside?"): How many games did the Detroit Lions actually win last year?
Brace yourselves, because the answer might surprise you (or not, really, it's the Lions we're talking about).
They... actually had a winning record! Yes, you read that right. Winning. Record. Buckle up, because this calls for a celebratory... polite handshake.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
Now, before you start booking your victory parade (because, let's be honest, a Lions parade would probably get rained out), let's not get carried away. They won 9 games. Nine. Not exactly setting the league on fire, but hey, progress is progress, right?
Here's the real kicker: they STILL missed the playoffs. How, you ask? Well, let's just say their Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks came back to haunt them in the most Lions way possible. Moral of the story? Every game counts, folks.
But fear not, Lions fans! There's always next year! Maybe. Possibly. We can dream, right?
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
