This is a fantastic, authentic two-page historical chronicle from The Game Day 1985 official Detroit Lions NFL program. The first page features an in-depth retrospective titled "Lions' Historical Highlights," detailing the franchise origins from its 1934 arrival in Detroit through their dominant 1950s championship era. The page is richly illustrated with four historic black-and-white photos showcasing early icons like head coach Potsy Clark, center Al Wojciechowicz, fullback Leroy "Ace" Gutowsky, and members of the legendary 1952 championship team watching from the sidelines.
The accompanying second page (included in this complete set) features "Lions Longest," an essential franchise record page cataloging historic team stats for the longest Rushing Play, Passing Play, Kickoff Return, Interception, Field Goal, Punt, and Punt Return.
Culled carefully from the December 15, 1985 publication, both full sheets are preserved in excellent vintage condition with sharp text and clean edges. A highly prized, display-ready set perfect for framing and adding to any Detroit Lions franchise history archive, football man cave, or Michigan sports memorabilia collection.
