Detroit Lions 2016 Season Schedule & Scores

Overall record:	9-7
Home record:	6-2
Away record:	3-5

During the 2016 NFL season, the Detroit Lions made notable progress, finishing with a 9-7 record and just missing out on the playoffs. Despite a challenging schedule, the team displayed an enhanced passing game under the leadership of Matthew Stafford and a robust defense anchored by Darius Slay and Glover Quin. The Lions' resurgence was further bolstered by a revitalized running game featuring Theo Riddick and Ameer Abdullah, which provided essential balance to their offense. However, their late-season difficulties, including a pivotal loss to the Green Bay Packers in the season finale, ultimately prevented them from securing a postseason spot.
