The Pittsburgh Steelers record overall against the Detroit Lions is 18-17 with two tied games. In Detroit, the Steelers don’t fare so well and slump to 6-13. The Steelers began playing the Lions in Pittsburgh’s second season in the NFL, 1934. The first four contests were played in Detroit and Pittsburgh lost them all.
The Lions are of a particular interest to me as they began life in the NFL as the Portsmouth Spartans. As I was born in Portsmouth, England, you can understand my fascination with them. The original Spartans stadium still exists and is currently home to the Notre Dame High School team.
