Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NFL team season The 1974 Detroit Lions season was the 45th season in franchise history. It was the Lions' final season playing at Detroit's Tiger Stadium; the team moved to the Pontiac Silverdome the following season and played home games there until the end of the 2001 season.

Prior to the start of training camp, tragedy would strike the Lions, as head coach Don McCafferty died of a heart attack at age 53. He was replaced by Lions assistant Rick Forzano, who guided the Lions to a 7–7 record in their final season at Tiger Stadium.

This would also be the last season until 2011 when Monday Night Football aired in the City of Detroit as a result of the Lions playing in Pontiac from 1975 to 2001, followed by subpar seasons while playing home games at Ford Field during that stadium’s first eight seasons.
