Dan Campbell’s team have suffered a couple of cruel losses this season but most of the time they got everything they deserved
![The Detroit Lions face an impressively unenviable NFL record: a 0-17 season](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/8ffffccb7a6d87f836988b963fddc22fffe9210a/0_271_4060_2436/master/4060.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctZGVmYXVsdC5wbmc&enable=upscale&s=94760cf0db15d67ee6c9f4564558c704)
Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker III brought up the most unpleasant NFL numbers possible after a nasty 44-6 loss on Sunday: “We have to fix it now, because obviously, it ain’t going to fix itself, or we’ll be 0-17,” he said after the defeat to the
Philadelphia Eagles.
And there it was, for all the world to ponder: 0-17. No NFL team has gone 0-17, in large part because no NFL team has played 17 games in a regular season since 1930, when the late Frankford Yellow Jackets finished 4-13-1, and the
New York Football Giants finished 13-4.
