coach. Prior to the start of the 2006 season, the Lions traded Joey Harrington to the Miami Dolphins. Several months later, they released Charles Rogers. Despite the changes, the team finished 3–13. With the second overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Lions selected Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson. The Lions began the 2007 season with a promising 6–2 record. The optimism was short-lived, however, as the team recorded only a single victory in the next eight games, for a final record of 7–9. 2008: 0–16 Hoping to rebound from the disappointing finish to the 2007 season, things appeared to be looking up for the Lions heading into the 2008 season as they went 4–0 during the preseason. Once the regular season started, however, they would hit rock bottom. After starting 0–3, Matt Millen was fired as team president and CEO. Over seven seasons under his leadership as team president, the Lions owned the NFL's worst winning percentage (31–84, .270), never had a winning season, never finished higher than third place in the NFC North, and did not play in any postseason games.

The Lions were the first team to go winless since the 1982 Baltimore Colts went 0–8–1 in the strike-shortened season and the first in a non-strike season since the 1976 expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Lions' 16 straight losses in 2008 also broke the record for most consecutive losses in a single season, previously held by the 2001 Carolina Panthers, who lost 15 straight games after winning their opener.
