Bengals have a better winning percentage against the Lions (.750) than any other team.
We are 5-1 on the road, and it has been FIFTY-ONE YEARS since we have lost at Detroit. That 1970 matchup was unique because both teams would make the playoffs that year.

Defense..There are only 2 games where a Bengal had 2 sacks against the Lions. There is only 1 game where a Bengal had 2 interceptions against the Lions. And one Bengal did both of those things in the same game. 11-22-92 Bengals suffer one of their rare losses to the Lions, but you couldn't blame James Francis. Not only did he have 2 sacks and 2 interception, but he also set the Bengals single game record for interception return yards (107) against any team. One was returned for td.
