The Detroit Lions are presently at 0- 15. This Sunday they play the Green Bay Packers and stand a good chance of going 0- 16 for the season, setting a new NFL record for bad. 
Here’s the question—is it better for the Lions to notch a 1-15 record, joining eight other NFL clubs that have finished their season at that mark, or should they shoot for the worst mark ever? Of course, any football player worth their salt would rather have one win than none. But that one victory may be tough for the Lions to achieve.
The Pack’s record stands at 5- 10, and although they are out of the playoff picture and have lost five straight, they have scored 388 points this season, while Detroit has put up just 247. Additionally, Green Bay has allowed 359 points, while Detroit has let opponents score a whopping 486 points. Although tomorrow’s Packers/Lions match up is one of the least important as far as the post-season goes, it is one of the most intriguing as far as regular season outcomes are concerned.
It looks like four-year veteran QB Dan Orlovsky will start. Orlovsky missed five games this season and has struggled mightily. His rating of 74.3 is 27th amongst all NFL signal callers. He’s thrown six touchdowns and six picks and his completion rate stands at 56.8%, which is 29th in the league.
The 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers presently hold the record for being the worst ever. They went 0- 14 when the season was two games shorter. The whole situation is amazingly ironic considering that last season the New England Patriots set the new mark of 16- 0 for regular season perfection by besting the Miami Dolphins mark of 14- 0.
This Sunday, the final weekend of the NFL regular season, could be a record-breaking one.
