There's really not much to say about it. The Detroit Lions are officially the worst team in NFL history. While some people might make a case for the 1976 Buccaneers, there's really no way to prove that they were worse. They only had a chance to lose 14 games, while the Lions lost 16 in one season, becoming the first and only team in NFL history to do so.
Hopefully, none of you took this for granted. While the Lions fans among us might not be thrilled about it, we got to see history unfold in front of our very eyes. It's not every year that you get to see this happen. In fact, it's a once in a lifetime experience. This team will likely get blown up, and we may never see this sort of awfulness ever again in the NFL. Even though there were many times when it looked like they might sneak away with a win, the Lions made it happen.
This team was so dedicated to losing that cornerback Travis Fisher even gave himself extra motivation to lose.
"If we win, I ain't catching the plane back home," he said with a laugh. "I'll walk back to Detroit."
The Lions came through for Fisher, avoiding what would have been a long, cold walk. Don't forget to hit up the 0-16 celebration party, and be sure to RSVP on facebook. This team is a huge deal, and we need to honor them for that.
Congrats to everyone, even Lions fans. Because this is the sort of failure that you just might never see again.
