The 2000 Detroit Lions season was the team’s 71st season in the National Football League. Coming off a lucky Wild Card playoff appearance with an 8–8 record in 1999, the Lions improved upon this record to finish 9–7, but the overall strengthening of their division meant that the team missed the postseason for the first of eleven consecutive campaigns.
The Lions’ home attendance was 606,716 while their attendance on the road was 523,383 for a total attendance of 1,130,099.Bobby Ross resigned after the ninth game of the season and was replaced by Gary Moeller.
