The Burning Question: How Many Touchdowns Have the Lions Racked Up in 2024?
Let's face it, folks, the Detroit Lions and offense haven't exactly been synonymous since, well, forever. But hey, that's why we love them, right? The scrappy underdogs, the Honolulu Blue hope (is that a thing? We're making it a thing). So, the question on everyone's mind, besides "is Honolulu Blue clashing with those silver helmets?" is: how many points have the Lions scored this year?
Hold onto your Honolulu Blue hats (or mullet wigs, no judgement) because official stats for the 2024 season are still under wraps. Training camp hasn't even begun, and pre-season is weeks away. But fear not, dear reader, we can still delve into the magical world of speculation!
Did the Lions Remember How to Score in 2023?
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Just to jog your memory (because, let's be honest, some of those games were enough to induce amnesia), the Lions actually surprised everyone last season with a decent showing on the scoreboard. They notched a respectable 27.1 points per game in 2023, which, for the pride of Detroit, is practically a touchdown a drive!

So, what does this mean for 2024?
Well, that's the beauty of the NFL, my friends. It's a whole new ball game (literally)! Here's where the speculation comes in. Did they keep up the offensive momentum? Did they draft some touchdown-making machines? Or are we back to the days of hoping for a safety?
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Only time, and Matthew Stafford's new arm in Los Angeles, will tell.
In the meantime, here are some fun facts to keep you going:
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
- The Lions' highest-scoring season ever was in 1950, when they put up a whopping 451 points (those were different times, folks).
- Barry Sanders holds the record for most rushing touchdowns in a season with 20 in 1997 (that man was a touchdown machine!).
- Calvin Johnson holds the record for most receiving touchdowns in a season with 16 in 2011 (because, apparently, the Lions used to know how to throw the ball).
