1992 was certainly a different time.
A gallon of gas cost a mere $1.13 at the pump. “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston was topping the charts. And the Detroit Lions were not only in the NFL’s postseason, but won a game.
Seems like forever ago, doesn’t it?
The Lions won their only playoff game of the Super Bowl era 29 years ago today at the Pontiac Silverdome over the Dallas Cowboys, advancing to the NFC title game thanks to Erik Kramer throwing three touchdown passes en route to a 38-6 victory.
Re-live the memory below:

Of course, Detroit would run into a buzzsaw in the form of Washington, the eventual Super Bowl Champions.
Lions fans, when will we enjoy another playoff victory?
