Lions are the laughingstock of social media

The Detroit Lions are proving week after week that they're the worst team in the NFL.

This time, the proof came across the pond, as the Kansas City Chiefs, who have struggled all year as well, romped to a 45-10 win today at Wembley Stadium in London.

To say that the Lions have turned into a target of ridicule is an understatement. At 1-7 and facing yet another losing season, they're basically a source of comedy at this point for sports writers and fans everywhere, and that's not hyperbole.

Today is no different. The reactions to another Lions blowout loss have been a mix of humor, despondence and hopelessness. They have the worst record in the NFL. They will go yet another season without a playoff win, the 57th time that's happened the past 58 seasons. Even Forbes, a non-sports website, is using the Lions as an educational tool on what not to do as an organization.

Here's a sampling of social-media reactions following yet another laugher of a loss.

(About that last one: It's because the Lions are on bye next weekend.)
