1990 Detroit Lions season (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The 1990 Detroit Lions season was the 61st season in franchise history and their 57th in Detroit. Despite a stellar season from Barry Sanders who scored 16 touchdowns and led the league in rushing, the Lions took a step backward and finished in third place with a disappointing, seventh-consecutive losing record of 6–10, as they struggled to find a consistent quarterback. The conclusion of this season meant that up to this point, the Lions had only made three playoff appearances, won only one division title and not won a single playoff game since their last NFL Championship in 1957.
