1988 Detroit Lions

The 1988 Detroit Lions season was the 59th season in franchise history. Darryl Rogers was released after 11 games and was replaced by Wayne Fontes.

The 1988 Lions' offense was historically inept; their 3,405 offensive yards gained is the second-lowest all-time in a 16-game season, and the lowest total of the 1980s. Their 220 points scored (13.75 per game) is the fifth-fewest of the 1980s. They scored 20 or more points only three times all season.
