About Detroit Lions

NFC-North
Year Founded: 1929
Stadium/Capacity: Ford Field 64500
Head Coach: Jim Schwartz
Fight Song: Gridiron Heroes
Colors: honolulu blue, silver, black, and white

They were founded in 1929 and were originally based out of Portsmouth, Ohio and called the Portsmouth Spartans. The Spartans joined the NFL in 1930, after playing one season as an independent football team. The team was then purchased and moved to Detroit in time for the 1934 season.The Lions play their home games in Ford Field located in Detroit, Michigan. The team headquarters is located in Allen Park, Michigan.

The Lions have won four NFL Championships, the last in 1957, giving the club the second-longest NFL championship drought behind the Arizona Cardinals, who last won in 1947 (as the Chicago Cardinals). The Lions are one of four current NFL teams that have yet to qualify for the Super Bowl, the only one with an unbroken NFL existence dating to before 1995, and the only one in the NFC. The team has qualified for the playoffs only nine times in the more than 50 years since winning the 1957 championship.

The Lions hold the second longest regular season losing streak in NFL history; losing 19 straight games from the final week of the 2007 season and ending on September 27, 2009, when the Lions defeated the Washington Redskins 19–14. It is second only to the 1976–77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers' losing streak of 26. Also since the NFL's expansion to 32 teams in 2002, the Lions are the only NFC team to not make the playoffs.
