Detroit looked great during the regular season but couldn't help but lion it when they got into the playoffs.
The number one Detroit Lions were highly favored against the sixth seeded Washington Commanders in the NFL Divisional Playoff round but they lioned it and lost by two touchdowns.
After a 17 point lead at halftime the Detroit Lions were minutes away from defeating the San Francisco 49ers and making their first Super Bowl appearance. However, the during the second half the Detroit lioned it in spectacular fashion with multiple failed fourth down conversions which effectively handed San Francisco a trip to the Super Bowl.
Detroit really lioned it in the 2008 season and did not win one game.

Get the National Nova/Lion Day mug.Hym "Yes, Lion. Very good. That's who I was talking about! You're still wrong. Your caricature of me is getting more accurate but it's like the Netflix adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. It would almost be good if it wasn't so bad. And you can tell the writer kind of tried to steer them towards not doing a bad job but they just did not want to listen. Which is not what you're doing to me because I am the correct one and am the writer here."
