An unlikely source proclaims that fans of the Detroit Lions deserve to win a Super Bowl

The first Super Bowl took place in 1967. The last time the Detroit Lions won a championship was 1957. The Lions are one of 12 teams never to win a Super Bowl.

In fact, the Motor City is one of four NFL teams to never have even played in a Super Bowl, with Detroit’s last playoff victory coming all the way back in 1992. And before that, the Lions’ last postseason win was in 1957.
