Ranking every Detroit Lions team from the last 25 years (25-21)

22. The 2009 Detroit Lions

Record: 1

• 2-8 until rookie Stafford went down with an injury, 0-6 the rest of the way

Achievements: 2

• “Game over…streak over…nightmare over!” –Lions broadcaster Dan Miller, following the Lions win over Washington
• “That’s GOTTA be a flag!!!”– Dan Miller, right before an interference penalty gave the Lions the ball at the one for an untimed down to beat Cleveland

Star Power: 2

• WR Calvin Johnson, getting near prime
• Rookie QB Matthew Stafford
• RB Kevin Smith

Entertainment Value: 4

• Until Stafford injured his shoulder, they were borderline watchable at times. The Stafford game winning drive against Cleveland is still one of my favorite Lions memories, so that has to be good for something

Total Score: 9 out of 40
