Teams / Detroit / Lions / 1995 / Season Recap

With QB Scott Mitchell setting a new franchise record in TD passes with 32, and receivers Herman Moore and Brett Perriman setting NFL record for most catches and receiving yards by teammates in a season the Lions show there is more to the team then just Barry Sanders. With a 10-6 record the Lions make the playoffs for a 3rd consecutive season. However, for the 3rd straight year they are knocked out in the Wild Card round this time it's their defense that falters them in a 58-37 loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia.
