The embarrassing team of the NFC North. They only team in the NFL in which the fans try to get rid of their tickets.
"Horrible thing happened to me today. I accidently left 2 Detroit Lions tickets on my dashboard, and when I got out of the store, somebody broke the window and stuck 2 more on there!"

The absolute worst-run sports franchise of the last 50 years; A franchise marked by ineptitude in the front office courtesy of William Clay Ford Jr.; A franchise with an oddly unwavering fan base that seems desensitized to losing; A franchise where the Superbowl is in early May(the draft) and the end of the season in October(8-10 games in); Most of all though, a franchise that is a sleeping giant(stop laughing), the Lion's have an unbelievably devoted following that would unite the fanbase of every pro and college sports team in lower Michigan. If this franchise ever gets a whiff of consistent winning(not 90s winning, where we went 10-6 and got smoked in the first round of the playoffs), a consistent contention for the NFC, the response will be enormous

An NFL team that has a God-given talent for knowing how to lose games. They ALWAYS find a way to lose after leading in the fourth quarter. A rival team to the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.

The laughingstock of the NFL.

Chicago Cubs of the NFL. A Team that good have Jesus as quarterback and still will lose miserably. Used to have the greatest football player of all time, but still couldn't even get to the NFC championship
