It's always fun to read other people's fun facts about dismal teams and know it doesn't hold a candle to the ineptitude of the Detroit Football Lions. Last playoff win was, what, January of '92? Haven't hosted a playoff game since around 93 or so. Didn't win a game at Green Bay from 92 until 2015. Even when we flirt with being a good team, the NFL is quick to put us back in our place (2014 Lions @ Cowboys Wild Card game. Phantom face mask on Rodgers in 2015 leading to the "Miracle in Motown" pass that gave GB the division. Jim Schwartz challenging a clear fumble, only for no challenge to occur because if you challenge an automatically challenged play, no challenge will happen. Golden Tate catching a game-winning TD at the goal line against Atlanta with :06 to go, somehow being called short and down by contact, and then losing the remaining time on the clock due to a 10-second runoff.)

The Lions are not only the worst franchise, they're often gaslit about it when people in the media act like the Cleveland Browns are the historic losers of the NFL. The Lions are just a punching bag for the NFL never to be taken seriously.
