With a high-powered offense and an unrelenting winning streak, the Detroit Lions are rewriting their narrative and chasing NFL greatness.

A Transformation Decades in the Making

For much of their history, the Detroit Lions were a team synonymous with playoff droughts and near-misses. The franchise’s last NFL championship came in 1957, and in the 75 years since, they managed just 13 playoff games, with only one victory—a 38-6 dismantling of the Dallas Cowboys in 1991.

This year, the Lions have built on their resurgence with an incredible 12-1 record, including a thrilling 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The win secured their second consecutive playoff berth, something they hadn’t achieved since 1995.
