Stirring image powerfully sums up Lions franchise

We imagine this shot of Dan Orlovsky stepping out of bounds as well as the actual footage of the hilarious misstep were quite impactful on the minds of dedicated Detroit Lions fans, so in the spirit of making them feel worse, let's take a look back at other memorable 'Lion moments':

1989 - Sensing defeat trailing by 27 points, frustrated quarterback Bob Gagliano hands the ball off to the referee and immediately tackles him.

1991 - Wayne Fontes builds extravagant ice cream sundae inside Mel Gray's helmet while the Lions offense sets record for most safeties in one quarter.

1993 - Chris Speilman tells teammates to sit this one out and plays entire game by himself.  Lions lose on a hail mary.

1995 - Quarterback Scott Mitchell inadvertently misses badly on a fade pattern, throwing the ball to someone in the front row.  Celebrates anyways.

1997 - Barry Sanders amazingly scores 12 touchdowns but Lions still lose 87-84 on a last second field goal.

1998 - Charlie Batch, in an apparent nod to Tecmo Bowl, takes the snap, runs all the way back to his own end zone, sets his feet and launches the ball 45 yards short of a streaking Herman Moore.

2000 - Lions go overboard on throwback uniform day, wearing leather helmets and no pads.  Six Lions are killed, while 47 are hospitalized.

2003 - Steve Mariucci lets good buddy Tom Izzo coach a few games.

2004 - Too ashamed to wear their actual jerseys, the Lions entire offensive line walks onto the field wearing Pistons jerseys.  Everyone shrugs.

2006 - Lions introduce first ever 'naked special teams'.

2007 - "Lions Suck" and "Mur-der Mil-len" chants make their way into the Palace at Auburn Hills during a Disney Ice Capades show.

And just because we love this play so damn much...
