Background - Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions franchise traces its origin to the Portsmouth Spartans, a team based in Ohio that entered the NFL in 1930. In 1932 the Spartans played in the league's first postseason game, losing 9-0 to the Chicago Bears. In 1934 the club was sold to radio station owner George Richards, who moved the team to Detroit and renamed it the Lions.
In Detroit's first season, quarterback Dutch Clark led the team in rushing, passing, and scoring. The Lions shut out their first 7 opponents and surrendered a record-low average of 4.5 points per game for the season, but they failed to qualify for the playoffs. In 1935 the Lions earned their first NFL title, shutting out 3 of 12 regular-season opponents and soundly defeating the New York Giants in the championship game. Ernie Caddel was the team's top runner and pass receiver.
In 1940 future United States Supreme Court Justice Byron White, a running back, topped the league in rushing and also led the Lions in passing and scoring, but Detroit remained near the bottom of their division. Two years later the franchise lost all 11 games of the 1942 season and scored only 38 points for the year.

2007 Season Preview
|
Detroit didn't return to the postseason until 1952, when head coach Buddy Parker steered the team to its first of two consecutive NFL titles. Bobby Layne, a two-time NFL yardage champion, directed a Lions offense that also starred Doak Walker. The club's many defensive standouts included safety Jack Christiansen, defensive back Yale Lary, and linebacker Joe Schmidt. Lary also ranked among the league's finest punters. The Lions defeated the perennial Eastern Division powerhouse Cleveland Browns in the championship games of 1952 and 1953.
From 1958 to 1981 Detroit reached the postseason just once, in 1970. Many players enjoyed individual success during the period, including defensive backs Lem Barney and Dick "Night Train" Lane, tackle (and future actor) Alex Karras, quarterback Greg Landry, linebacker Mike Lucci, tight end Charlie Sanders, and wide receiver Pat Studstill. In 1975 the team moved into the Silverdome, the largest air-supported domed structure in the world.
In 1980 the Lions enjoyed their first winning season in eight years. Powering the offense was running back Billy Sims, who was named NFL rookie of the year. Head coach Monte Clark steered Detroit into the playoffs in 1982 and 1983. The team's division title in 1983 was its first in 26 years.
Head coach Wayne Fontes took the Lions to the postseason in 1991, as Detroit won a franchise-record 12 games and played in its first NFC Championship Game. Fontes won the NFL coach of the year award. Detroit's offense in the early and mid-1990s featured Barry Sanders, who won NFC rushing titles in 1989, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. Detroit made the playoffs in 1993, 1994, and 1995 but lost in the first round each year. After a poor 1996 season Fontes was replaced by former San Diego Chargers head coach Bobby Ross. Barry Sanders would soon retire and never return to playing NFL football again. He has since been elected to the Hall of Fame on his very first ballot.
The Detroit Lions have never played in the Super Bowl.
2006 Regular Season Record – 3-13
2006 Outcome – Missed playoffs
The Detroit Lions have had a very tough couple years in the NFL as of late. The Lions are suffering each year, and have yet to make the playoffs since the 1999 season, and have also finished last in their division, four out of the last six seasons. This off-season is very crucial to the success of the Detroit Lions. The Lions were finally beginning to show promise at the end of the season last year, and they must provide some help to the offense and defense. The Lions will have a great pick in the draft after finishing with one of the worst records. Can the Detroit Lions finally turn around this horrific run they have? Only one way to find out! Come out to Ford Field and cheer on your favorite team, the Detroit Lions! Get your Detroit Lions tickets from Onlineseats!
