Lions' record at Lambeau Field: A look into Detroit's struggles ahead of key game in Green Bay image

It's safe to say that Lambeau Field has not been kind to the Lions over the years. 

Detroit has struggled mightily on the frozen tundra, especially in the past three decades. But Dan Campbell's squad is looking to change that a little this weekend with a potential win-and-in matchup with the Packers on "Sunday Night Football."

If the Rams manage to beat the Seahawks in the afternoon window, then the Lions would be able to clinch their first playoff berth since 2016 — and just their fourth in the past 22 years — with a win in Green Bay.

Wins in Green Bay have been extremely hard to come by for the Lions, however. 

The Sporting News takes an in-depth look at Detroit's historical struggles at Lambeau Field:

Lions' record at Lambeau Field

The Lions' all-time record at Lambeau Field is 13-36-3, including playoffs.

To be fair, the Packers have been one of the most successful franchises in NFL history. Plus, road games will always be tougher than home games. 

But the numbers gets worse the more recent the time frame. Over the past 30 years, Detroit is 3-25 in Green Bay and 3-28 in Wisconsin (counting games in Milwaukee). That includes a run of 24 straight losses in the state from December 1992 to December 2014.

The good news? They've managed to go 3-4 in their last seven trips to Green Bay.

When was the last time the Lions won at Lambeau Field?

That would be Dec. 30, 2018, when Matthew Stafford threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns in 31-0 Lions blowout win in the final game of the regular season. Kicker Matt Prater threw a touchdown pass to tight end Levine Toilolo on a fake field goal in the second quarter. 

Aaron Rodgers suffered a concussion early in the game, forcing DeShone Kizer to take over at quarterback for the Packers. It was a down year overall for Green Bay, which finished 6-9-1 and missed the playoffs.
