Over Thankgiving I had the punishment of watching the Detroit Lions play football. I knew they were a bad team going into this game but with the exception of a few highlights I hadn’t sat down and watched them play a full game. Once I watched them I wondered how a team could be so bad.

The Titans had almost 300 yards rushing alone. The team got blown out by 30 plus. I couldn’t belive how bad they actually were. Once the game was over that got me thinking about whether or not this team would win a game all year.

Once I took a look at the remainder of the Lions schedule I thought to myself there is a pretty good chance this team goes winless. Every year we talk about the chances of a team going winless and I always think there is no way. This year I think there is a very good chance the Lions go down in the record books.

Above is the remaining games in the Lions schedule.  The Lions are 0-12 going into there final 4 games of the season.  If you look closely you will see that every team the lions play is fighting for there playoff lives. This means no team they play the rest of the year will be taking them lightly.

Tampa Bay went 0-14 in 1976 in their first year as a team. No team has gone winless since then. No team has ever gone 0-16 in NFL history. I think the Lions will be in the record books at the end of this year.
