Monday night, we saw the city of Cleveland melt down after losing to the Ravens on a blocked field goal at the horn. At the time, it was hard to imagine a more dejected franchise losing in a more dejecting way. But just three days later, the Lions marched in to remind us NOBODY TOPS THE LIONS (in sadness) when the Packers beat Detroit on a Hail Mary at the horn, thanks to a questionable call that gave Aaron Rodgers one last chance to win the game.
The Detroit Lions and their fans were a pit of sadness after losing on Hail Mary to Packers

Man, can we just merge the Lions and Browns into one team, have them play in Toledo, so all our suffering can be kept in one place?

If you're a Michigan and Lions fan...which loss was worse? I can't fathom two gut-stomps like that in a two-month span.

The Browns even think it's messed up how the Lions lost.

I see your Cleveland and raise you a Detroit!
— Brian Billick (@CoachBillick) December 4, 2015 Hang in there, Lions fans. As bad as tonight was, you’ve been through worse.
