1957 NFL Season — Final Standings
Final regular-season standings. Detroit and San Francisco tied atop the Western Conference at 8-4-0, with Detroit winning a one-game conference playoff before beating Cleveland for the NFL title — still the most recent championship the Lions have won. Cleveland's 9-2-1 Eastern Conference title season was defined by rookie Jim Brown's historic debut, which earned him both Rookie of the Year and league MVP honors.
