About this book

DEEP INTO THE FOURTH QUARTER, Ford Field is trembling under the weight of decades of hope. Detroit, a city too familiar with heartbreak, can sense something historic coming alive. Goff takes the snap … drops back … launches it downfield — St. Brown! Touchdown! A 31-yard strike that sends the stadium into an eruption thirty-two years in the making. Tampa Bay fights back, but the Lions refuse to bend. The clock winds down, every second thunderous. Then it hits zero. It’s done. Detroit has won the Divisional Round and is heading to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1991.

Follow the story of the Detroit Lions through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original Washington Post reports spanning decades of football history. This edition charts the team’s journey — exactly as it was reported at the time.

Featuring:

– The origins of the franchise, from the Portsmouth Spartans’ early seasons to the team’s move to Detroit in 1934

– The Lions’ four NFL Championships in 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957

– The star-studded eras of Joe Schmidt, Lem Barney, and the unforgettable Barry Sanders

– The highs and lows of the modern era, including the 1991 playoff run and the rebuilding years that shaped the franchise

– The 2023 resurgence under Dan Campbell, culminating in the Lions’ first NFC Championship Game appearance in 32 years

– Highlights from the latest seasons

Choose from a range of book covers and personalize your copy with a name and message to transform it into a unique keepsake. Whether for a Lions fan, a history enthusiast, or someone who’s lived through the highs and heartbreaks — you hold not just a gift, but a piece of Detroit football history ready to be passed on.
