DETROIT (WKZO) — The Motor City is still stewing over their controversial dismissal in the playoffs turning the Detroit Lions fan base into the most miserable in the NFL, according to a new survey.
The Scripps National Desk has released new data that illustrates which NFL franchises have the most miserable fans dating back to the 60s. Detroit fans, who haven’t seen a playoff victory since 1991, topped the list. The Buffalo Bills came in second, followed by the Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons and the Chicago Bears.
The Scripps NFL misery index looked at seven categories that relate to the performance of a city’s NFL franchise or its quality of life. Factors included the unemployment rate for the franchise’s metropolitan area, the city’s average temperature in January, number of Super Bowl titles and appearances along with postseason success.
Scripps says the Dallas Cowboys, who was also eliminated from the playoffs on a controversial call, has the least amount of misery among their fan base.
