The Detroit Lions: Masters of the Non-Winning Season (But We Love Them Anyway)
Ah, the Detroit Lions. A team steeped in tradition, with a fan base as loyal as they are masochistic (myself included). We bleed Honolulu Blue and Silver, but let's be honest, sometimes our team makes us want to tear our hair out and switch to, well, any other team (but deep down, we wouldn't dream of it).
So, you're curious about the Lions' record? Buckle up, because it's a rollercoaster ride.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.

| What Was Detroit Lions Record |
Wins, Losses, and a Whole Lot of Ties (Maybe They Should Play Tic-Tac-Toe?)
The Lions boast an all-time record of 591 wins, a whopping 707 losses, and 34 ties. That's right, more losses than wins. But hey, at least we're not afraid to play to a draw!
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
Now, the good news: the Lions have actually had some winning seasons scattered throughout their history (39 to be exact). We've even clinched a few playoff appearances (with a record of 9 wins and 14 losses).
QuickTip: A short pause boosts comprehension.

The bad news? Our last championship win was in 1957, which is basically ancient history in the NFL. That's a championship drought longer than most marriages these days!

Fun Facts (Because We Need a Laugh After All This)
- The Lions hold the unfortunate record of being the first team to go 0-16 in a full 16-game season (thanks, 2008!).
- We also have a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Lions fans are experts in the art of the heart-wrenching loss.
But here's the thing: despite the struggles, Lions fans are some of the most dedicated and passionate in the league. We may not always win, but we sure know how to cheer on our team (and maybe throw a few Hail Marys at the screen).
