So, How Many Playoff Wins Are We Talking About Here?

Here's a little perspective:
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
- The average marriage lasts roughly 8 years. You could have gotten married, raised a family, gotten divorced, and gotten remarried... all while the Lions managed a grand total of three playoff wins.

Impressive consistency, wouldn't you say?
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.
Looking Ahead: Will the Lions Ever Escape the Playoff Wilderness?

Maybe it will. Maybe they'll defy the odds and rewrite history. Or maybe... well, let's just say a healthy dose of optimism is key when following this team.
