Shawn Martin+FollowLions become the first team since the 2018 Bengals to start 4–1 and miss the playoffsDetroit opened the season 4–1, then went 4–7 over the last 11 games and got officially eliminated from playoff contention after the Christmas loss to Minnesota. That kind of collapse is rare: the last team to start 4–1 and still miss the postseason was the 2018 Cincinnati Bengals, who also began 4–1 before finishing 6–10 and missing the playoffs. What do you think was the biggest reason for Detroit’s fall-off — injuries, coaching turnover, or just a brutal schedule? #NFL #DetroitLions #NFLPlayoffs #Bengals #NFLHistory #NFCNorth #DanCampbell30Share
