The Detroit Lions have lost eight playoff games in a row, going back to Jan. 5, 1992, when the Lions beat the Dallas Cowboys in the divisional round of the postseason.

That is the only playoff win in the Super Bowl era for the Lions. Since then, Detroit has lost eight straight playoff games -- tied for the longest streak in NFL history. It was an active a mark of futility shared by the Lions and Chiefs, at least until Kansas City beat Houston 30-0 Saturday night to break its drought.

So the Lions had the longest active playoff losing streak all to themselves -- for a few hours.

After the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 18-16 late Saturday night, the Bengals joined the Lions as losers of eight straight playoff games.

So Kansas City, Cincinnati and Detroit are each tied for the all-time mark with eight consecutive playoff losses, with the Lions' and Bengals' streaks being active.

The Lions have actually won a postseason game more recently than the Bengals. While Detroit's last playoff win (again, only playoff win) came in 1992, the Bengals last won a postseason game Jan. 6, 1991, a 41-14 victory over Houston with a defense coordinated by Lions legend Dick LeBeau.
