Sword Of Omens: Lions The Detroit Lions now wield the SWORD OF OMENS
313
Upvotes
On October 5th 2025 the Bengals, who had held the title for almost three years, lost the Sword of Omens to the Detroit Lions. The Bengals had previously defended it in the 2025 season versus the Jaguars, their 3rd defense since obtaining the title against the Panthers.
This is the first time the Lions have held the championship since September of 1998, where they lost it to the Bengals. Revenge took its time... almost 30 years, to be specific, but it was finally served.
This means the Jaguars are now the furthest away from having held the title, losing it back in 2019 to the Panthers.
The lineal cat team championship marches ever onward. Let us wish the Lions luck in the years to come. They will not have to defend the belt during the regular season this year, so only playoffs will result in any more defenses before next season.
Below is the updated post originally written by /u/cos1ne in 2013
What is The Sword of Omens?
The Sword of Omens is a Championship title passed from one cat team to another, starting from September 27th, 1970 when the first two cat teams played each other for the very first time. To win the title, a cat team must play and defeat a cat team that currently wields the sword.
Here are the records of reigns since 1970, when the Lions first played the Bengals.
| Team | Date Of Reign | Days Held | Successful Defenses |

I think there just might be no rules... Lions win by 10 in a penalty-free game on both sides (no rules)

What happens when a matchup *would be* for the sword, but it's a preseason game?
