The Detroit Lions were founded in 1930 in Portsmouth, Ohio, and now play their home games at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. The franchise is headquartered in Allen Park, Michigan, and owned by Sheila Ford Hamp. Brad Holmes serves as general manager, with Dan Campbell as head coach, Drew Petzing as offensive coordinator, and Kelvin Sheppard as defensive coordinator. The Lions endured a long stretch of difficult seasons, including a 2–14 finish in 2009, a 3–12–1 record in 2019, and another 3–13–1 campaign in 2021. The turnaround under Campbell has been dramatic: after going 9–8 in 2022, Detroit posted a 12–5 record and made the playoffs in 2023, then followed with a 15–2 regular season in 2024. The 2025 season saw a return to 9–8, and the Lions currently sit at 3–2 in 2026.
