Can the Lions hold off another era of Packers dominance?

Detroit, at 6-1, is arguably the best team in the NFL. But Green Bay isn't far behind.

In the 30 years between the Detroit Lions’ winning divisional titles — a drought that lasted from 1993 to 2023 — the division they were in changed names.

The old NFC Central became the NFC North in 2002, when the Houston Texans joined the NFL as an expansion franchise and the league went to its current eight-division system.

No matter the name, the Lions weren’t very good, posting a record more than 100 games under .500 between division championships.

Meanwhile, in the same period, the Green Bay Packers were dominant.

From 1994 to 2022 (the 29 seasons when Detroit never won the division), the Packers won the NFC Central/North 15 times, more than every other team in the division combined.
