It's not easy being a Detroit Lions fan after a devastating loss to the Washington Commanders and losing genius OC Ben Johnson to the rival Chicago Bears.
The Detroit Lions' 2024 season devolved from a dream to a nightmare when it flipped from the regular season to the postseason. Detroit won a franchise-record 15 games to capture the NFC North division crown and the conference's top seed for the postseason,
