2008 Detroit Lions Season

The 2008 Detroit Lions Season was historical, in that they became the first NFL team to finish with a record of 0 wins and 16 losses. They became the first team to finish a full NFL season to lose all of their games since the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who went 0-14.

Despite their winless season, they would have a future ahead of them, as Calvin Johnson had just come into the league, and quarterback Matthew Stafford would come into the league the very next season.

They would remain the only team in NFL history to finish a season with an 0-16 record until the Cleveland Browns "achieved" that on December 31, 2017, after narrowly losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
