The incredible record the Lions broke on week 17 against the 49ers: How long will the streak go on?
The Lions are slowly becoming a very serious team that can win it all this year and you better pay attention.
The Detroit Lions made history in Week 17 by becoming the first NFL team to score 40+ points without any turnovers in five games within a single season. This achievement highlights their strong offensive performance, led by quarterback Jared Goff, who threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Lions have scored 40 or more points against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and the Seattle Seahawks.
Which other teams have had a similar record like the Lions?
Only two other teams have come close to this record: the 2019 Baltimore Ravens and the 2024 Buffalo Bills, each with four games of 40+ points and no turnovers in a season. The Lions have now set a new benchmark.
As they head into their Week 18 game against the Minnesota Vikings, the Lions aim to continue their streak. This game is crucial as it will determine the top seed in the NFC and home-field advantage in the playoffs. So is very unlikely that they will score another 40 points before the playoffs.
