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 lion itmug. When an NFL team manages to lose a game by less than a touchdown when they deserved to lose by more, or manages to find new and interesting ways to lose by less than a touchdown for years on end.
Forward down the field,
A charging team that will not yield.
And when the Blue and Silver wave,
Stand and cheer the brave.
Rah, Rah, Rah.
Go hard, win the game.
With honor you will keep your fame.
Down the field and gain,
A Lion victory!
A charging team that will not yield.
And when the Blue and Silver wave,
Stand and cheer the brave.
Rah, Rah, Rah.
Go hard, win the game.
With honor you will keep your fame.
Down the field and gain,
A Lion victory!

Get the Lionmug. The insatiable sense of optimism that overcomes you anytime the Detroit Lions do something that is less than absolutely horrible.

Get the Lions Buttermug. An attractively seductive older Man who prefers younger woman. He’s the Man who doesn’t lose the swagger and multiple divorce papers as he ages, much past His deflated dusty prime. He’ll steal your girl like Hugh Jackman and pass her on to Johnny fucking Sins. He’s the silver fox, the Ron Swanson of men, the Matthew Mcconaughey of Boy’s . He has that Letter Kenney/Red Green tongue the will chirp harder than four girls and two Milf’ s currently in his bed. He’s got money like Jordan Belford, and can last longer than Viagra mixed with 5 Hour energy. And Godammit he’s a veteran.
