The Detroit Lions: Kings of the Jungle...or Maybe Not?

So, you're curious about the Detroit Lions' overall record? Buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive into a wild ride.

| What is The Detroit Lions Overall Record |
Wins, Losses, and Those Mysterious Ties...
The Lions have been clawing their way through the NFL since 1930. That's a lot of seasons, a lot of Sundays spent cheering (or yelling at the TV). Here's the skinny:
- Wins: We'll get to the exact number in a sec, but let's just say they've seen the winning side of the scoreboard a decent amount.
- Losses: Let's just say they've also seen the losing side...a lot.
- Ties: Remember ties? Yeah, those were a thing back in the day. The Lions have a surprising number of them, which neither helps nor hurts, but hey, it's a stat!
Alright, alright, spill the beans! What's the actual record?
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
The Detroit Lions boast a 591-707-34 record (as of the end of the 2023 season). That's more games than most marriages last!
Wait, what about the playoffs?
Ah yes, the playoffs. A place where Lions fans rarely venture, but when they do...well, let's just say the success rate isn't exactly stellar. The Lions have a whole nine playoff wins to their name, which sounds okay...until you realize they've also suffered a whopping 14 playoff losses. Moral of the story? Stick to the regular season, it's less stressful.
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Fun Facts (Because We All Need a Laugh)
- The Lions haven't won a championship since...well, let's not talk about it.
- They once lost nine playoff games in a row. Nine! We're pretty sure that's a record, but hey, at least they're good at something, right?
- Despite the, ahem, challenges, Lions fans are some of the most die-hard in the league. We bleed Honolulu Blue and Silver, win or lose.
