  • The 2008 Detroit Lions season was the franchise's 79th season in the National Football League (NFL), and their 75th as the Detroit Lions. The Lions made history by becoming the first team since the schedule was expanded to 16 games to finish winless. 2008 was the third season under head coach Rod Marinelli, and the season began going undefeated in the pre-season and hoping to improve upon their 7–9 record the year before, their best since the 2000 season. However, the Lions instead suffered one of the worst seasons in NFL history, finishing 0–16 and joining the expansion 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers as only the second team since the AFL–NFL merger to finish a full-length season winless, and the first since the schedule was expanded to sixteen games in 1978. The Lions gave up a franchise-record 517 points during the season, coming within 16 of matching the 1981 Colts' record of 533 points allowed. The Lions' 32.31 points per game allowed on defense is the third worst of any NFL team since the 1960s, bettering only the 1966 Giants (35.79 PPG) and the aforementioned 1981 Colts (33.31 PPG). The 517 points-allowed mark has since been eclipsed by the 2020 team, who allowed 519 points. The Lions were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention with a Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Embattled team president, general manager, and CEO Matt Millen, who had served in those roles since 2001 was fired on September 24, 2008. Marinelli was fired after the season ended along with most of his staff. To celebrate their 75th season playing as the Lions, the team wore a special throwback replica of the uniforms used in 1934, their first season as the Lions, for two home games. The uniforms had blue jerseys with silver lettering, solid silver pants, blue socks, and solid silver helmets (as helmets were leather back then). This replaced their black alternate jersey used in the 2005 to 2007 seasons. While unique when it happened, the 2008 Lions' 0–16 record was later matched by the 2017 Cleveland Browns. Combined with the Lions' 2–14 record the next year was the worst two season record since the merger until surpassed by the Browns who had a 1–15 record in 2016, followed by an 0–16 record in 2017. A season earlier, the Miami Dolphins almost suffered the same fate as the 2008 Lions, starting 0–13 before a Week 15 overtime victory against the Baltimore Ravens prevented them from finishing winless. Incidentally, the NHL's Detroit Red Wings had won the Stanley Cup earlier in the year and were on their way to competing for the cup again when this occurred. (en)
  • La stagione 2008 dei Detroit Lions è stata la 79ª della franchigia nella National Football League e la terza con come capo-allenatore. La squadra disputò una delle peggiori stagioni nella storia della sport professionistico, perdendo tutte le 16 partite della stagione regolare e diventando la prima squadra dai Tampa Bay Buccaneers del 1976 a concludere un'annata senza vittorie o pareggi e la prima dall'espansione del calendario a 16 partite dal 1978. I Lions furono eliminati matematicamente dalla caccia ai playoff nella settimana 11, quando avevano un record di 0–10. La vittoria della squadra sui Kansas City Chiefs nel penultimo turno della stagione 2007 sarebbe rimasta l'ultima sino alla settimana 3 della stagione 2009. Dal momento in cui i Lions ottennero una vittoria sui Denver Broncos nel 2007 salendo a un record di 6–2, la squadra ebbe un bilancio parziale di 5–47 nelle successive 52 gare (incluse tutte quelle del 2008 e 2009), prima di vincere quattro gare consecutive alla fine della stagione 2010. I Lions subirono 517 punti durante la stagione, solo 16 in meno del record negativo dei Baltimore Colts del 1981. I 32,21 punti subiti in media a partita dai Lions furono il terzo peggior risultato dagli anni sessanta, meglio solo dei Giants del 1966 (35,79) e dei summenzionati Colts (33,31). Il presidente e amministratore delegato della squadra , in carica dal 2001, fu licenziato il 24 settembre 2008. Marinelli fu licenziato a fine stagione come la maggior parte del suo staff. (it)

  • The Lions find themselves in a very familiar position. For 16 weeks, starting in Atlanta back in September, they took the field thinking this was gonna be their day. Sixteen times they were wrong, and now there are no Sundays left. By record, they are the worst team in league history. Zero and sixteen, those are the numbers that will forever be associated with the Detroit Lions. (en)
  • Turner and Norwood ripped through the Detroit defense like machetes ripping through palm leaves. Every time you looked up, they seemed to be pounding the Lions' front and the Lions' middle for 10 yards, 12 yards, 14 yards. When they got tired of running past them, they just ran through them.

  • The 2008 Detroit Lions season was the franchise's 79th season in the National Football League (NFL), and their 75th as the Detroit Lions. The Lions made history by becoming the first team since the schedule was expanded to 16 games to finish winless. The Lions were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention with a Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Embattled team president, general manager, and CEO Matt Millen, who had served in those roles since 2001 was fired on September 24, 2008. Marinelli was fired after the season ended along with most of his staff. (en)
  • La stagione 2008 dei Detroit Lions è stata la 79ª della franchigia nella National Football League e la terza con come capo-allenatore. La squadra disputò una delle peggiori stagioni nella storia della sport professionistico, perdendo tutte le 16 partite della stagione regolare e diventando la prima squadra dai Tampa Bay Buccaneers del 1976 a concludere un'annata senza vittorie o pareggi e la prima dall'espansione del calendario a 16 partite dal 1978. I Lions furono eliminati matematicamente dalla caccia ai playoff nella settimana 11, quando avevano un record di 0–10. La vittoria della squadra sui Kansas City Chiefs nel penultimo turno della stagione 2007 sarebbe rimasta l'ultima sino alla settimana 3 della stagione 2009. Dal momento in cui i Lions ottennero una vittoria sui Denver Broncos (it)
