1974 Detroit Lions

Pro football reference to see the maddening box scores. As I remember many if not all of these games. At least the ones on tv. I remember Forzano taking over because The other coach passed away due to a heart attack. I remember being happy for breaking a 0-13 streak against the Vikings. I do not approve of carrying the coach off the field in a regular season game lol. I remember losing Owens
Lem Barney was my favorite player !

I had forgotten about Levi Johnson. 21 picks in less then 5 seasons. 2 picks in the eagles games in 1977 before tearing his knee and never playing again. SOL with bad luck and injuries.

The lions had 2 of the 5 greatest Oklahoma running backs, and both careers were cut short due to injuries with the Lions
