pos: 2008 Detroit Lions season 2008 Detroit Lions season The 2008 Detroit Lions season was the 79th season for the franchise in the National Football League. The season is notable for being only one of four winless (0-16) seasons in American football history. The Lions entered their third season under head coach Rod Marinelli. Entering the season with high hopes thanks to their 7-9 record the year before, their best since the 2000 season, the Lions instead suffered one of the worst seasons in NFL history. The Lions finished 0-16, joining the expansion 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the only other team to finish a

With the loss, the Lions became only the second NFL team of the post-merger era to go winless without a tie in the regular season, and the first to go 0–16. (The 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers also went winless, but that was when the regular season only had fourteen games.) The Lions ended 2008 having lost 23 of their last 24 regular-season games, going back to the previous season, and a total of seventeen consecutive regular season

pos: NFL preseason games do not count toward any statistics, streaks, season standings or records whatsoever. For instance, the four wins incurred by the 2008 Detroit Lions & the 2017 Cleveland Browns exhibition seasons did not count "against them" when they went on to become the only teams to go 0–16; and the 1972 Dolphins, despite losing three exhibition games, are still considered to have played a perfect season. Similarly, Ola Kimrin's 65-yard field goal in an exhibition game is not considered the league record, despite being longer than the 64 yard mark set by Matt Prater in the regular season (in 2013).

On December 28, 2008, the Lions became the first team in NFL history to go 0–16.

With this loss, the Colts fell to 0–13 and became the sixth team in NFL history to start a season at 0–13, and the first franchise to suffer this ignominy on multiple occasions. They would later on be joined by the 2016 and 2017 Browns. After starting 0–13 and looking most likely to become the second team in NFL history to go 0–16 after the 2008 Detroit Lions, the Colts would finally win a game.

From the end of the 2006 season through the first game of the 2009 season, Galileo had an 18-game losing streak, going winless in both 2007 (0-7) and 2008 (0-9).

Since 1944, only five teams have had winless seasons in the NFL: the 1960 Dallas Cowboys (0–11–1), the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0–14), the 1982 Baltimore Colts (0–8–1), the 2008 Detroit Lions (0–16), and the 2017 Cleveland Browns (0–16).

This replaced their black alternate jersey used in the 2005 to 2007 seasons. While unique when it happened, the 2008 Lions' 0-16 record was later matched by the 2017 Cleveland Browns, who went winless after going 1-15 the year before, breaking the Lions' record for the worst post-merger two season record.
