In 2008, the global sports circle was very lively due to the wave of the Olympics; similarly, the North American sports market was also extremely noisy because of the wonderful NFL.

The competition for playoff seats is getting hotter. Even with the last week left in the regular season, the twelve playoff teams of the two Federations have not been completely decided. The life-and-death battle with a bayonet is about to sound the horn of the battle, and the teams competing for the Super Bowl will eventually stand out.

However, no one could have thought that the competition for the deputy squad leader was chasing each other, and another exciting drama was staged in the corner of "no one was watching". The bustling discussions were heard everywhere, even more enthusiastic than the Super Bowl.

After all, there is still a whole month from the start of the playoffs to the final match of the Super Bowl, but the position of deputy squad leader is about to be decided at the end of the regular season.

In previous years, two or three wins could basically determine the position of the deputy squad leader, and four wins would basically determine the top three picks in the draft, but this year was not the case:

As of week 16 of the regular season, four teams have won four, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Brown; while the Cincinnati Borussia Dozens had three wins, eleven losses and one draw, among which Cleveland Brown and Cincinnati Borussia Dozens, who are also in the North of the United Nations, still need to "fight for" the bottom of the division.

There are two teams that win in the two teams. The Kansas Chiefs of the American League West and the St. Louis Rams of the National League West have a very bad record. Now they can only hope to rebuild the team through the draft and focus on next season and the future for a long time.

But the cruel thing is that the Kansas Chief and the St. Louis Ram had no hope in the "sub-squad leader battle" and were intercepted by the Detroit lion early.

Objectively speaking, the position of deputy squad leader has officially come to an end with the 15th week of the regular season. The second-to-last and third-to-last teams are basically confirmed to be the Kansas Chiefs and the St. Louis Rams. The other three-win and four-win teams can only "fight for" the fourth-to-last position.

But it is precisely because of such a "grand occasion" that it is the most absurd and lively one.

In the last week's regular season, not only should we pay attention to which team wins, but even which team loses can become a topic. No one expected that there were so many teams with four wins - that is, there were so many teams with eleven defeats. There were as many as eight teams in the eleven defeats and above season!

This also means that even if you put it in a bad position, you may not necessarily win the lead, and you are really tired.

What's more, the entire league may witness the birth of a historical moment this year:

Since the NFL League changed its regular season system, it will soon see its first team that will lose all season, which also means that the league may witness history for two consecutive years.

Since the establishment of the Rugby League, the regular season system can be divided into two eras according to the number of games. Before the 1977 season, the regular season was fourteen games; after the 1978 season, the regular season was sixteen games.

Although only two regular season games have been added, for the special sport of rugby, different degrees and levels of requirements are put forward for players' physical strength, energy and ability. Every additional game will increase exponentially on the later stage of the season, and uncertainty will continue to increase.

Simply put, the difficulty of the race is completely different, whether it is a complete victory or a complete defeat, the difficulty is different.

Before 1977, the Alliance had witnessed history.

First of all, in 1972, the Miami Dolphins became the first and only team in history to win 14 games in the season, and reached the Super Bowl in one fell swoop.

Then in 1976, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first and only team in history to lose all fourteen games in the season, and it was hard to win the whole season.

From winning all to losing all, only one team has achieved such a record.

After 1978, the alliance never witnessed history until last year.

In 2007, the New England Patriots became the first and only team in history to win 16 games in the season, but they lost to the New York Giants on the Super Bowl final stage, unable to replicate the feat of the Miami Dolphins reaching the top that year.

However, the team of all defeats never appeared.

Now, the Detroit Lions will likely write history for the second consecutive year, filling another gap in league history after the New England Patriots-

Not that beautiful blank: all seasons lost.

It has been mentioned before that the last time the Detroit Lions entered the playoffs was already in 1999. After entering the millennium, the team has been at a low point. The current head coach is Rod Marinelli, who took office in 2006, but this relatively conservative coach has not been able to recover.

In 2006, three wins and eleven losses.

In 2007, seven wins and nine losses.

In 2008, there was zero win and fifteen losses, and there was still a game to be fought.

Originally, the Detroit Lions rebounded slightly last year, and this year's preseason won all four games, which also made people have high expectations for the team. Before the regular season officially opened, many Detroit Lions fans were shouting that they would step on the bodies of their mortal enemies in the same area to enter the playoffs this season.

However... after the start of the season, it was a complete nightmare, a nightmare that you can't wake up no matter how hard you struggle:

It is hard to find a victory so far.

In fact, the Detroit Lions once had the chance to win, and they all came from the divisional civil war.

In the sixth week of the regular season, he lost the away game at 10:12; in the nineth week of the regular season, he lost the away game at 23:27; in the fourteenth week of the regular season, he lost the home game at 16:20. The suspense of the victory and loss of these three games continued to the last moment, but Marinelli's on-the-spot command still failed to create miracles, and the difference was within a touchdown.

But what is ridiculous is that except for the above three games, the Detroit Lions' other games were all defeated, and the final loss was more than one touchdown.

The average loss difference in season is as high as 16.8.

Among them, he lost 36 points to the Green Bay Packers in the second week of the regular season, which was only the second place in the biggest score of the season. He was beaten by the Tennessee Titans in the 13th week of the regular season and lost the game at 10:47.

From data analysis alone, the Detroit Lions' offense is not the worst. They rank 27th in the league and are sixth from the bottom. They averaged 16.2 points in the season. "Megatron" Calvin Johnson is undoubtedly the most shining offensive weapon in the entire league. They have already shown their superstar temperament in the second grade.

But the defense is extremely bad, ranking 32nd in the league, and it is also the only team in the league that has lost more than 6,000 yards. Passing defense and ground defense are a mess, averaging 33 points per game, making the offensive team that lacks explosive power even more powerless, and victory is out of reach.

Such a Detroit Lions have only the last game left to create history.
