The Lions overall playoff record is 2-4 with wins in both 2015 & 2016.

Defensively, they haven't given up more than 14 pts in any one game this season and have only given up 1 touchdown or less in 8 of the 10 games.

It's been a roller coaster year for Union City. They lost their opener, won the next three games, lost the next three and finished up the regular season with a three game winning streak.
