The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit.
The Lions compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the National Football Conference (NFC) North division.
The team plays their home games at Ford Field in Downtown Detroit.
The franchise was founded in Portsmouth, Ohio, as the Portsmouth Spartans in 1928 and joined the NFL on July 12, 1930.
Amid financial struggles, the franchise was relocated to Detroit in 1934 and renamed the Lions in reference to the city's Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise, the Detroit Tigers.
The Lions won four NFL Championship Games between 1935 and 1957.
Following the 1957 championship, the franchise did not win a playoff game until the 1991 season and did not win another until the 2023 season.
