2024 Detroit Lions Schedule, Results & Record

Founded in 1932, the Detroit Lions have a long history, though much of it is marked by struggles. Once a powerhouse in the NFL, the Lions won three NFL championships from 1952 to 1957. Sadly for Detroit, their last title in 1957 is only a distant memory for their older fans, as the team has never appeared in a Super Bowl since its inception in 1966.

While championships have been scarce, the Lions have had many memorable star players over the years. Bobby Layne was the quarterback during their 1950s glory days. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Lions fielded competitive teams, including the 1970 playoff squad. These teams featured notable stars such as cornerback Lem Barney, defensive tackle Alex Karras, cornerback Dick LeBeau, linebacker Joe Schmidt, center Ed Flanigan, kicker Errol Mann, and tight end Charlie Sanders.

During this era, the Lions were so popular that they were featured in the major motion picture "Paper Lion," starring Alan Alda, based on a writer's experience trying out for the team and chronicling his training camp journey in a book. In later years, the Lions boasted two of the most electrifying running backs in NFL history: Billy Sims and Barry Sanders, who thrilled fans and gamblers alike with their dynamic performances.

In 1991, the Lions came closest to a Super Bowl appearance, making it to the NFC Championship game before being eliminated by the eventual champion Washington Redskins. Wayne Fontes coached that Lions team and led them to the playoffs four times between 1991 and 1995. Since 2000, the Lions have made the NFL playoffs only four times, but the most recent appearance in 2023 looks to be one of many more with Dan Campbell navigating a ship that’s stocked with some of the league’s most talented and impactful players.
