Detroit Lions - Team Notes

61 years ago today December 29, 1957:
Detroit Lions defeat the Cleveland Browns 59-14 at Briggs Stadium to win the National Football League championship. The Lions have only one black player on its roster: John Henry Johnson, a full back.

John Henry Johnson was a Brute as a Fullback. Right there with the great Jim Brown.

Program from the 1957 "World's Championship Game" at Briggs (Tiger) Stadium #OTD in 1957, when the Lions won their last NFL championship.

Lions put CB DeShawn Shead, who was already ruled out for Sunday, on IR. Signed CB Andre Chachere, a UDFA from San Jose State, from the practice squad to take his place.
