A Brief History of Lions' Playoff Misery (Because Why Not?)
The last time the Lions roared in the playoffs (with a victory, that is) was in the thrilling year of 1991. Yes, the year Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" dominated the airwaves, and dial-up internet was still a dream.
Since then, it's been a never-ending cycle of heartbreak: fumbled snaps, missed field goals, and that ever-present feeling of "here we go again." But hey, at least they keep things interesting, right?
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
