Detroit Lions coach not buying "Curse of Bobby Layne"

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Four NFL championship banners were hanging from the Detroit Lions' indoor practice facility on Friday afternoon as the current team works to snap a five-game losing skid on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

The Lions (1-6) haven't celebrated a title since 1957, the NFL's second-longest drought without a championship. They also hold the longest active streak without a playoff victory, having not won in the postseason since 1992.

There's been so many dramatic losses and lack of success through the years that speculation remains on whether or not the 'Curse of Bobby Layne' lingers over the entire organization.
