DETROIT -- Players posed for photos and pulled hats onto heads as a celebration ensued inside the tiny confines of the visiting locker room of Ford Field. The Los Angeles Rams had every reason to: They had clinched another division title.
Steps away, that type of feeling is unknown. For the Detroit Lions, it hasn't happened in a quarter-century.
The Rams' 30-16 win over Detroit on Sunday gave Los Angeles a division title and secured that the Lions would not win one for the 25th consecutive season. It's a streak that dates back to 1993 -- almost a decade before the Lions' current Ford Field home even opened.
