No. Scott Mitchell led the Lions to the playoffs in 1995 and 1997 but was eliminated in the first round both years. In the first round of the 1995 playoffs the Lions lost to Philadelphia 58-37 and in the first round of the 1997 playoffs the Lions lost to Tampa Bay 20-10.
The Detroit Lions were NFL champions in 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957. Since the AFL-NFL Merger in 1970, the Lions have been to one NFC Championship game, that being in the 1991 season when they lost to the Washington Redskins.

The Detroit Lions.
As near as I can tell from eye-balling/cross referencing a couple of websites, there has never been a situation where the team with the MVP on its roster did not make the playoffs.
Yes in 1935,1952,1953,1957
As of the 2008 season, that was the 1999 season when the Lions made the playoffs as a wild card team. They lost in the Wild Card round to the Washington Redskins, 27-13.
No
No. However they were the NFL Champions 4 times, in 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957. These championship games were before we started calling it the "Superbowl".The closest the Detroit Lions ever came to the Superbowl was in 1991 when they lost in the NFC Championship game to the Washington Redskins. The Lions have been to the playoffs 7 times since 1991. All 7 resulting in a loss.The Lions most recent playoff game was in 2014 against the Cowboys.Ironically, the Cowboys are the only team the Lions have beat in the playoffs during the Superbowl era. That win took place at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1991.
They've never been in a Super Bowl.
