In the final analysis, this little nugget won’t impact anything on Sunday, but it’s a little scary to note the last two times the Lions played in Philadelphia, things didn’t exactly go too well.
In those last two games, the Lions gave up a total of 114 points. There was the 56-21 loss in 2007 and the 58-37 loss in a playoff game in 1995. Ah, memories, huh?
The last time the Lions stole a win in Philly? You have to go back to 1986 when they tied a team record by sacking quarterback Randall Cunningham 11 times.
They’ve gone into Philly six times since and lost them all.
So, there’s that.
