The Lions pass the baton for their longest active win streak in the playoffs

A win for the Detroit Lions and a loss for the Miami Dolphins over the weekend means that a new team now has the longest active playoff win drought in the NFL. The Lions say they are 'just going to keep grinding' for the next two weeks. A new team has now been added to the NFL's longest playoff win-drought list of teams without a playoff win.

Five NFL teams entered the 2023 season with hopes of ending years-long playoff droughts. Only one team managed to break through, the Lions did, and the Jets did. The Lions won't be the first team to make the playoffs in the NFL for the first time in 2023.
