The Detroit Lions lost to the Green Bay Packers 31-21 today to become the first team in National Football League history to finish a season with a 0-16 record.
The last time an NFL team lost every game in a season was an expansion team, the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in their first year in the league. The Lions have played in Detroit for over 70 years.
Since the end of World War II, the only other NFL team that has not won a game in a full season has been the 1960 Dallas Cowboys, who were 0-11-1 in their first year. In 1982, the Baltimore Colts went 0-8-1 during a strike- shortened season.
