The Detroit Lions proudly announced a celebration of the 1991 Lions squad, honoring that team during an October home date with the Los Angeles Rams. The 1991 Detroit Lions remain the only unit in franchise history to win a playoff game in the Super Bowl era.
That’s right. The Lions are calling attention to the organization’s sheer futility of the last 50-plus years. As Dave Birkett of the Free Press first reported, Detroit will honor the lonely playoff victory.
What an absolute embarrassment! This is one of those half-baked marketing ideas that someone, probably Team President Rod Wood, should have slept on before implementing.
