The niners really need to have someone look into their conditioning methods. They’re either Super Bowl contenders or a hospital ward every year.

The Lions being 14-2 without their star pass rusher, and the rest of the injuries is insane.

Detroit being 15 - 2 with more players hurt and on IR than the amount of Wins combined in the AFC South needs to be studied

The 49ers. It destroyed their season. Meanwhile, despite abhorrent injuries for the Lions, their unbridled rage has fueled them to the number one seed.

The zombified corpse of the LA Rams not even making it on the list should show just how bad everyone else was messed up

The Lions had 31% of their starting roster on IR at one point during this season. Including Aiden Hutchison- Contender for DPOTY Alex Anazalone- Pro Bowler Alim McNeil- Projected Pro Bowler David Montgomery- Knuckles Carleton Davis- Lockdown CB. Honestly I could go on but the Lions went 15-2 with all of these players out and more AT ONE FUCKING TIME. Not spread out, not just out for a week, misses multiple impactful games. Oh and they also have the biggest point differential of the season.

I dunno about the number of injuries—but the imbalance of the Lions’ injuries is what got me—that defense was held together by year-old off-brand duck tape for most of the season.

The Niners win the Injury Bowl every year tbh. Either our entire starting roster gets injured or we choke late in the playoffs and the entire fanbase gets injured.

saints were considered a top 10 team for the first 2 weeks of the season, then 90% of the starting lineup got injured and now they have a top 10 draft pick

Lions have a great record despite having 22 players on IR. To win the injury bowl you gotta overcome the injuries and what they did is something we may never see again. Any other team would collapse

The 49ers were on their fifth string running back at one point

Niners have been the injury champs ever since moving out of Candlestick Park and into Levi’s Stadium. I feel like it has a poltergeist and was built on an ancient Native American burial ground.

Absolutely the Lions for beating the Vikings even with all their injuries. Super impressive

How about the cowboys, lost majority of the oline, qb, cooks, the secondary all missed time, started 3rd team dline, and backup linebackers

The 49ers' injuries defined their season more than these other teams. They literally went from SB contender to missing the playoffs from a mid division almost exclusively due to injury.

The lions have so many injuries and still won their division. They deserve the top spot

That run they were on finally took a toll on their Main Dogs : CMC, Aiyuk, Greenlaw, their SS, Deebo, Trent Williams, add that to their age. It is usually called the Super Bowl Loser Curse. This is when the team who loses the Super Bowl follows up with a year of injuries to key players, loss of key players from last year's roster, other teams catch up, and you lose games that you won , or you were overrated or overachieved.

Just watched 2 Lions go down within 5 minutes of each other. So, them.

If you’re going on missing players, look at Detroit. That defensive luck is unreal. Lions players who missed significant time (by position): DL: • Hutch • McNeill • Reader • Davenport • Paschal • Cominsky • Onwuzurike • Wingo • Peko LBs: • Anzalone • Barnes • Rodriguez • Reeves-Maybin DBs: • Davis III • Dorsey • Melifonwu • Moseley • Rakestraw 18 players on defense. The starters, the backups, the backups’ backups. The only position that stayed relatively healthy was the safeties.

UrinatingTree
There is one more thing to settle in this NFL football season: The winner of Injury Bowl!
So many viable candidates, but only the best of the best can secure such an "honor". These four nominees are what I felt represented the worst of the injury bug, regardless of performance.
HONORABLE MENTION:
- New York Giants
- New York Jets
- Las Vegas Raiders
- Houston Texans
- Carolina Panthers
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Who do you feel deserves to be bestowed Injury Bowl champion of 2024?
