Memory Lane: "91" Lions
Memory Lane
1991 Detroit Lions
Memory Lane
One of the most memorable teams from my youth was the 1991 version of the Detroit Lions. The Lions finished the regular season with a 12-4 overall record earning themselves a home Playoff Game at the Pontiac Silverdome, and a first round bye. Detroit crushed the Dallas Cowboys 38-6 with backup Quarterback Eric Kramer at the helm for the Lions. Kramer threw for over 300 yards, and 3 touchdowns. The Lions advanced to the NFC Conference Championship Game, but lost to the eventual Superbowl Champion Washington Redskins 41-10. The Lions have not won a NFL Playoff game since their victory over the Cowboys.
The 1991 Detroit Lions were memorable for various reasons (good, and bad) including the career ending injury to Mike Utley, and the way the team finished the regular season by winning their final 6 games. The NFC Championship loss was also the last game that Eric Andolsek ever played in. Andolsek was killed during the off-season in a tragic incident while working at his home.
The most memorable thing to me about the 1991 Detroit Lions was the way the team was constructed. The Lions usually have a few flashy pieces, but their rosters almost always seem to lack talent, and overall depth. The 1991 Lions were solid in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Players like Lomas Brown, and Kevin Glover helped anchor the Offensive Line. The D-Line had some real players like Jerry Ball (eventually placed on IR), and Kelvin Pritchett. The secondary was also solid with guys like Ray Crockett, and Bennie Blades defending the pass. The 1991 Lions also had several stars on the same team like Barry Sanders, Herman Moore, Brett Perriman, Chris Spielman, Eddie Murray, and Jim Arnold. It is worth repeating that the Lions have not won a NFL Playoff game since their victory over the Dallas Cowboys during the 1991 season.
