Way back in 1991, the Detroit Lions were a pretty good football team. They finished the regular season 12-4, won the NFC Central, and secured a first-round bye. The following week, they defeated the Dallas Cowboys 38-6 in the divisional round. It's been 25 years, and the Lions haven't won another playoff game since.

They're 0-8 in the postseason since that day, with losses to Washington (1991 NFC title game), Green Bay (1993 wild card), Green Bay again (1994 wild card), Philadelphia (1995 wild card), Tampa Bay (1997 wild card), Washington again (1999 wild card), New Orleans (2011 wild card), and Dallas (2014 wild card). Being that it's been a quarter-century and there's not been much else to celebrate as it relates to Detroit football, the Lions will honor that 1991 squad this season, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Twenty-five years after they played in their only NFC championship game, the Detroit Lions will honor the 1991 team that went 12-4 and won the NFC Central Division.

The festivities originally were set for the Oct. 23 game against Washington -- the team that beat the Lions in the NFC championship game -- but several 1991 team members had scheduling conflicts that weekend. So the celebration now will take place at the Oct. 16 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Press notes that while details of the celebration are still being finalized, the Lions currently expect most members of the 1991 team to be in the house. That means guys like Barry Sanders, Erik Kramer, Brett Perriman, Mel Gray, Lomas Brown, Ray Crockett, Chris Spielman and Jerry Ball, among others, can be reasonably expected to show up. It should be a pretty cool day for Lions fans that head to Ford Field.
