Considering the Detroit Lions have lost eight straight games to open this season, and 12 straight overall (dating back to a Dec. 6 win in Chicago), it’s hard to believe we’re still finding surprising stats about their losing ways.

The Ford family was still eight years from purchasing the franchise.
