I don't know. I heard the 2nd longest drought for a team to not make the playoffs was the Buffalo Bills. I think it was 2000.
Yep... I was right:
Bills....17 years
Raiders...14 years
Browns...14 years
Rams... 11 years
Jags... 11 years
The Lions were in the playoffs back in 2011.

Oh that's right, they were in the playoffs for like 30 seconds in 2011.
When I think of the last time the Lions made the Playoffs, I always think of 1991. They were in for a few minutes that year as well.
Now you have to ask, when was the last time teams were in the playoffs and actually WON a Game ?
The Lions were in the postseason two years ago and lost to the Cowboys in a Wild Card game. As far as the longest active drought without a postseason victory: Cincinnati has the longest active drought at 26 seasons (I'm pretty sure they were eliminated from postseason contention yesterday, so they will now be at 27 seasons). After the Bengals: #2 Detroit (25 seasons), #3 Buffalo (21 seasons...now 22),#4 Cleveland (19 seasons....now 20). #5 Miami (15 seasons)
Chiefs and Bengals had the longest playoff win drought, Chiefs broke theirs last year. First playoff win since becoming a fan.

I disagree, the only other team I'd rather face in the playoffs is the AFC south winner.
I realize we'd get our butts kicked in the playoffs but it's a step in the right direction for us.
The Lions last Playoff Win was in '91, that must be what I have been thinking.
They beat the Cowboys, that's the '91 season, '92 playoffs.
Before that their last win was (are you ready Paul ?) '57.
They ARE a WHOPPING 7-12 IN 19 Playoff games.
Pats play that many playoff games in, about a 5 year time frame ...
If the Dolphins get in as the 6th seed (which I think they will), I can see them giving Pittsburgh or Baltimore a run for their money.
Check with me after this weekends game against Baltimore ....
Well see if anyone is still healthy.
This is a Huge game for both teams.
I haven't seen the updated scenarios yet, but if Baltimore loses they are basically toast. The Steelers can lose and still have a decent shot at a Wild Card.
I want to win the Division, this way you don't have to chance it on the last game.
Steelers win out and they get the Division and a Home game I believe.
IF the Steelers win out, they will more than likely be the 3 seed and host the 6 seed on Wild Card weekend
Which could very well be the loser of this weeks Steelers /Ravens game.
That would be 3 games for them this year ... Sloberknockers, here you come !
The AFC Playoff field is all set. Now it's just a matter of the seedings. The Patriots could be 1 or 2, the Raiders could be 1, 2 or 5, the Steelers could be 3 or 4, the Texans could be 3 or 4, the Chiefs could be 2,5 or 6 and the Dolphins could be 5 or 6.
