GREEN BAY, Wis. -- They drove from far and wide to watch their Detroit Lions snap the third-longest playoff drought in the NFL. In Tyler Lindsay's case, ...

That’s a disappointment for the thousands of Lions fans who arrived by plane, train, automobile and even boat hoping to see their team advance to the playoffs for the first time since 2016, the third-longest drought in the league.
