Through the 2009 season, that was January 5, 1992 when the Lions defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 38-6. The following week, the Lions lost the NFC championship game to the Redskins in Washington.
The Lions have played four home playoff games in their existance, the 1991 Divisional Playoff game listed above and the 1935, 1953, and 1957 NFL Championship games. They won all four of those games.
As of the 2008 season, the last time the Lions won at Lambeau was December 15, 1991 when they defeated the Packers 21-17.

I found the answer before anyone even had a chance to reply.....The Detroit Lions did play a professional football game in Michigan Stadium, on September 22, 1971. They played the defending champion Baltimore Colts.
Detroit, Michigan is the home of the Lions.

Yes. It has become a tradition for the Dallas Cowboys to play a late afternoon home game on Thanksgiving Day, just as the Detroit Lions have long played an early afternoon home game on the last Thursday in November. Dallas occasionally also gets a home game on the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
Through the 2008 season, the last Redskins home playoff game was January 8, 2000 and was played at FedEx Field, which had been known as Jack Kent Cooke Stadium until the naming rights were sold to FedEx in November, 1999. The Redskins defeated the Detriot Lions, 27-13.
Including playoffs, 17. The Bills won all 10 home games (8 regular season and 2 playoff) in the 1990 season and the first 7 in the 1991 season. The streak was broken on December 22 when the Bills lost to the Detroit Lions in overtime, 17-14.
Both teams are real hot right now.......Detroit historically can be hard to beat at home Thanksgiving Day, so I would think GB needs a huge effort to win...I would give Detroit a slight advantage at home......Green Bay then plays the Lions the last game of the season at Lambeau, so I would the Packers the advantage at home.
As of the 2008 season, the last time the Lions won at Lambeau was December 15, 1991 when they defeated the Packers 21-17.

No. Prior to the 2008 playoffs, their last home victory in the playoffs was the 1947 NFL Championship Game when the defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 28-21. This game was also the Cardinals' only home playoff game prior to the 2008 season.
