That year, five quarterbacks saw play. It wasn&#8217;t meant to be, but Detroit may have had more luck if quarterback Jon Kitna hadn&#8217;t missed most of the season due to injury. Instead, the team&#8217;s offence and defence respectively placed 30th and 32nd. The first of Calvin Johnson&#8217;s seven seasons with 1,000 yards was recorded, but he was still growing into the role in his second year as a pro.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Out of the last 23 seasons (734 single-season team performances) the worst 3 defenses are<\/p>\n<p>732 &#8211; 2020 Detroit Lions<br \/>733 &#8211; 2008 Detroit Lions<br \/>734 &#8211; 2022 Detroit Lions<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Honolulu Blues (@HonoluluBlues_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HonoluluBlues_\/status\/1588744799368392704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>10. <strong>2004 San Francisco 49ers\u00a0<\/strong><strong>(2-14)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>9. <strong>2007 Miami Dolphins\u00a0<\/strong><strong>(1-15)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>8. <strong>2000 San Diego Chargers (1-15)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>7. <strong>2010 Carolina Panthers (2-14)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6. <strong>2016 San Francisco 49ers (2-14)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>2009 St. Louis Rams (1-15)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>2016 Cleveland Browns\u00a0<\/strong><strong>(1-15)<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mike Martz: \u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve seen an offense that bad since the 0-16 Detroit Lions (2008).
