- According to a Harris Interactive poll, the Detroit Lions are the 13th-most popular team in the NFL. By comparison, the Lions were 22nd last year, and they were actually 30th just four years ago (amazingly, the Seattle Seahawks, which are now sixth, were 31st that year). In fact, this is the highest the Lions have ever been since Harris Interactive started conducting this poll in 1998.
