Graphs Never Lie, especially if they are color coded

At work, I make a lot of charts - most of them are boring and science related, and even required to be in black and white. Here's an incredibly useful one I made - if you didn't already know the 2008-09 Lions sucked, this chart sums it up for you. It shows how far they made it into the game before being down by 17 or more points, which is enough that it would take a pretty serious comeback that only a diehard fan would expect. One of the most special ones was week 12, where the Lions actually TOOK a 17-0 lead against Tampa Bay....then gave up 35 unanswered points. And if you missed this week's game vs the Saints - they were down by 17+ at 28:50 into the game.
