Before the Lions begin their highly anticipated playoff journey, let’s pause and reflect on what this team has achieved.
In their 15-2 season, which earned them the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the Lions set numerous franchise and even NFL records across various categories. From team and individual offense to punting, the Lions made their mark in the record books throughout the 2024 season.
2: Consecutive division titles, marking the first time in franchise history.
15: Wins, the most by any Lions team in franchise history. The Lions are the ninth team to achieve 15 or more wins in a season.
8-0: The Lions’ perfect road record, making them just the 11th team in NFL history to go undefeated on the road.
564: Points scored, a franchise record and the fourth-highest total in NFL history for a single season.
Plus-222: The Lions’ point differential, the best in the NFL, and their first time leading the league in this category since 1952.
10: Games with 30 or more points, setting a new franchise record.
6,962: Total yards, a franchise record and the sixth-most in NFL history.
46.2: Jack Fox’s net punting average, setting a new NFL single-season record.
19: Touchdowns for Jahmyr Gibbs, a franchise record, surpassing the previous record of 17 held by Jamaal Williams and Barry Sanders.
5: 100-yard rushing games by Gibbs, the most in a season by a Lions player since Barry Sanders in 1997.
4: Consecutive games by Gibbs with at least 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown, tying the longest streak in franchise history.
1,900, 16, 4: Scrimmage yards, rushing touchdowns, and receiving touchdowns for Jahmyr Gibbs. He’s the first NFL player to reach these three milestones in a season since David Johnson in 2016.
3,000, 30: The total scrimmage yards and touchdowns combined for the Lions’ running backs. The last backfield to reach both numbers was the 2006 Chargers.

72.4: Goff’s completion percentage, the fourth-highest in NFL history.
