The Detroit Lions: Scoring Machine... Maybe Not, But We're Working on It!
Let's face it, folks, the Detroit Lions haven't exactly been known for lighting up the scoreboard over the years. But hey, that's why they play the games, right? Every season brings new hope, and with a talented young squad, maybe, just maybe, this is the year the Lions finally take flight... offensively speaking, at least.

So, How Many Points Do They Actually Score?
This is where things get interesting. Buckle up, because we're about to delve into the world of Lions' points per game (PPG).
Here's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (well, at least for the 2023 season): The Detroit Lions averaged a respectable 27.1 PPG. That's not quite enough to make them the NFL's offensive juggernaut, but it's a far cry from the single-digit scoring performances of Lions' lore.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
Wait, 27.1 PPG? That doesn't sound that impressive...
Hold on there, Debbie Downer! We're getting to the funny part. You see, 27.1 PPG is a bit of a statistical illusion. Here's why:
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
- The Goff Effect: The arrival of quarterback Jared Goff definitely boosted the offense. But let's be honest, it wasn't exactly touchdowns galore every game.
- Schedule Shenanigans: The Lions feasted on some truly awful defenses in 2023. Let's just say those games inflated the PPG a tad.
- Fourth Quarter Frenzy: The Lions have a knack for scoring points late in games... when the outcome is already decided. Moral victories and all that, jazz, but it doesn't exactly translate to consistent wins.
So, what does this all mean?

It means that Lions fans should be cautiously optimistic. The potential is there, but consistency will be key. Here's to hoping the 2024 season brings more first-quarter fireworks and fewer garbage-time touchdowns!
