Detroit Lions

For seven decades, the Lions were professional sports' most faithful exercise in heartbreak—a mirror for a city that knows what it means to endure. Then Dan Campbell arrived, Ford Field became the loudest stadium in football, and Detroit finally gave itself permission to believe the story might end differently this time.

Every season in Detroit Lions history, from the most recent to the founding year.
