According to the team’s PR Twitter account, it’s the first time they’ve gotten off to that good of a start since the 1956 season. That year, the Lions started 7-1, finished 9-3, and just missed out on a championship. Just last week, the 2023 and 2024 Lions became the first ever teams in the franchise’s history to post back-to-back 5-1 starts. The last time the Lions did that was when it was the Portsmouth Lions in 1933 and 1934. It’s just another notch in Dan Campbell’s belt. Just a few weeks ago, Campbell crossed over .500 in his time heading up the Lions, despite the fact that he started 4-19-1 in his first 24 games. He was just the second Lions coach since the 1950s to accomplish that. The @Lions are 6-1 this year, their best start to a season since 1956.⁰#OnePride pic.twitter.com/Eqv4KPjAm7— Detroit Lions PR (@LionsPR) October 27, 2024 We’re truly living in some unprecedented times right now.
