The 1988 Detroit Lions season was the 59th season in franchise history. Darryl Rogers was released after 11 games and was replaced by Wayne Fontes.[1]
The 1988 Lions' offense was historically inept; their 3,405 offensive yards gained is the second-lowest all-time in a 16-game season, and the lowest total of the 1980s.[2] Their 220 points scored (13.75 per game) is the fifth-fewest of the 1980s.[3] They scored 20 or more points only three times all season.
