Could The Lions Make A Move For Lamar Jackson?

The Detroit Lions haven’t been to the playoffs since 2016 when they lost in the first round to the Seattle Seahawks. In fact, they haven’t won a playoff game in 31 long years &#8211; good for the longest active drought in the NFL. They’re the only team who hasn’t won a playoff game since the start of the century…things have been grim in Detroit.
<h2>Have the Lions Ever Won a Super Bowl?</h2>
The first official Super Bowl was played in 1967, and since then, there have been 12 <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/nfl/nfl-teams-that-have-never-won-a-super-bowl-bm03/">NFL teams that have never won the big game</a>. The Detroit Lions are one of them. Among those 12 teams, Detroit has been around the second longest and were formed in 1929 (then known as the Portsmouth Spartans).
The Lions haven’t even made it to the Super Bowl before. Their furthest playoff run came in 1991 when they lost in the Conference Championship to the Washington Redskins. Their best playoff runs since the creation of the Super Bowl are found below:
<h3>1991 Conference Championships vs. Redskins</h3>
The Lions have won their division three times in the Super Bowl era, with their most recent title being in 1991. In the playoffs, they defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the Divisional round with a convincing 38-6 win. Unfortunately, they got dominated in the Conference Championship, losing 41-10 to the eventual Super Bowl-winning Washington Redskins.
<h3>1983 Divisional Round vs. 49ers</h3>
Eight years prior, Detroit won their second division of the Super Bowl era and received a bye past the Wild Card round. This time they lost to a game-winning drive by none other than Joe Montana’s San Francisco 49ers. The final score at the Pontiac Silverdome was 24-23.
<h3>1970 Divisional Round vs. Cowboys</h3>
The franchise’s first division title in the Super Bowl era came in 1970, giving them a bye past the first round. Detroit went on to lose in the Divisional Round to the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 5-0. This game is the lowest-scoring playoff game in NFL history.
