Inept Detroit Lions defense chasing ugly records: 'You don't want that on your resume'

The Detroit Lions are a bad defensive football team, so bad that they are approaching historical levels of ineptitude.

The Lions have allowed 482 points this season, most in the NFL — the Jacksonville Jaguars are second at 464 points allowed — and could set franchise records for most points and yards surrendered in a season in Sunday's finale against the Minnesota Vikings.

“I didn’t know that until you just told me, so, (expletive), I got to go out there and play a little harder and we got to go out there and do our job because you don’t want to be a part of that team (that) they go back and look up 100 years from now and your name’s on it," linebacker Reggie Ragland said.
