The Detroit Lions finished 2014 at 11-5, their best regular-season record since 1991. That was also the last time the team made it past the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs. Last year the Lions reached the playoffs for only the second time in 15 years, but once again failed to win any postseason games.
