I watched that game! I remember my dad going on about how the Lions were going to lose and I countered with.."there's always a chance" He then bet me a buck the lions would lose. After the game he welched.
My dad could be a real jerk when he wanted to.
My earliest Lions memory is the 1970 season. The loss to the Saints on Dempsey's FG...the team winning against Green Bay at home to go 10-4 and earn the wild card. They then lost to the Cowboys 5-0. Who the hell loses a game 5-0?
The Lions...that's who
