Standout Moments in Detroit Lions History

Thanksgiving Game, 1962 – Detroit’s immediate rivals, the Green Bay Packers were undefeated heading into the 1962 Thanksgiving Game. That is, until they met the Lions. Detroit won the game 26 to 14, leaving the football world pleasantly surprised by these underdogs.

Sanders out runs Smith – As one of the most loved players by Detroit fans, Barry Sanders is arguably the champion of the people. Sanders particularly entered the limelight after beating Emmitt Smith’s on-team record of 143 yards. Sanders ran a staggering 194 yards during a 1994 game in Dallas, impressing spectators and team mates alike.

2013: Reggie Bush embarrasses the Chicago Bears – Bush became the key ingredient to Detroit’s defense during the 2013 NFL season. In a week 4 face-off with the Bears, Bush made a memorable run past multiple defenders from Chicago all the way to the end zone. This effort just before the second half was crucial for Detroit to win the game 30-10.

Both teams play in the NFC North Division and are right behind each other with the Packers finishing first, and the Lions finishing second in the NFC North 2016 season.

Greatest Players in Detroit Lions’ History

At present, the most popular player has got to be the Honolulu-hailing Ndamukong Suh, who is a favorite amongst fans. Detroit has championed talented athletes over the years such as Cory Shlesinger and Doak Walker.

Schlesinger, also nicknamed Anvil Head is considered one of the greatest of the Lions to have stepped onto the field. Walker, on the other hand, stands out literally because there is a collegiate award named after him. He was an instant success, being named NFL’s Rookie of the Year in 1950. Sure enough, his Hall of Fame induction came in 1986.
