* 2017 - 2857.61
* 2018 - 2803.21
Season Notes:
*2011 - Inconsistent play on Defense and weak WR core. Below average QBs. Had the highest points against in the league.
*2012 - Mediocre QB play. 9 players on IR or out for most of the season including Ray Lewis and his 18ppg. Improved WR and TE play, Solid all-around defense and dominating RB play along with a little luck leads to Detroit's 1st championship. A 4 point margin over NO Saints.
*2013 - Injuries to Julio Jones and Sean Lee hurt. The total lack of production by Ray Rice and Trent Richardson led to an anemic offensive season even with the emergence of Jordan Cameron and the above average play of Alex Smith. Defense carried the team into the playoffs, but couldn't carry the underperforming offense into the second round.
*2014 - Ray Rice suspended prior to the season, Sean Lee, Paul Posluzney, and Carson Palmer all lost to injury. Improved depth at all positions propelled the team into the playoffs and through the first round, but an historic scoring week for Green Bay in round two ends the season for Detroit. A good year.
*2015 - Quality play on offense, at LB and DB, but weak TE play and below average defensive line. At one time, 14 players on IR (7 starters). A poor showing in the week 15 championship game dug too deep a hole to recover from, leading to a loss in the championship to St. Louis Cardinals.
*2016 - Solid Defensive play and a strong QB corps lead to a winning season. Subpar WR and RB play lead to a first round playoff exit.
