The Lions are the 5th oldest franchise in the NFL, trailing the New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and the Arizona Cardinals. The Lions are the only franchise to never appear in a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 1957 championship, the Lions have won only a single playoff game. It happened in 1991 over the Dallas <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/football\/nfl\/dallas-cowboys\/\">Cowboys<\/a>, when Barry Sanders and Wayne Fontes led the team to its greatest achievement in the modern era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lions are one of the featured teams on Thanksgiving Day. This tradition started in 1934. Then team owner George Richards negotiated an agreement for NBC to broadcast the Lions on every NBC affiliate across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And since they have been an unsuccessful franchise, every year a sports talk show host looking for fodder stokes the fire, and ire of Lions fans, with the \u201cWhy do we have to watch the Lions every year?\u201d debate. Accept it and move on, dudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lions are 37-42-2 all time on Thanksgiving Day. They\u2019ve played the <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/football\/nfl\/chicago-bears\/\">Bears<\/a> 13 times on the holiday since 1947, going 5-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lions all-time record is 570-694, winning .451% of their games, which is not as bad as you might think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Detroit Lions Stadium<\/strong>: Ford Field<br><strong>Detroit Lions Logo<\/strong>: A leaping blue lion<br><strong>Detroit Lions Colors<\/strong>: Honolulu Blue and Silver and White<br><strong>Detroit Lions Mascot<\/strong>: Roary The Lion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Many Super Bowls Have the Detroit Lions Won?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NFL<\/strong> League Championships:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 \u2013 1935, 1952, 1953, 1957<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions joined the NFL in 1930 \u2013 what were YOU doing in 1930?!
