The Detroit Lions are favored to win the NFC North, hoping to end a three-decade drought without a division title.
EXPECTATIONS: Playoffs?! Yes. Detroit is favored to win the NFC North, hoping to end a three-decade drought without a division title. The Lions haven’t been in the playoffs since 2016 and have only one postseason victory since winning the 1957 NFL title. With a potent offense and improved defense, one of the league’s historically bad franchises is expected to have success.
KEY LOSSES: RB D’Andre Swift, RB Jamaal Williams, WR DJ Chark, C Evan Brown, CB Jeff Okudah, S DeShon Elliott, CB Mike Hughes, DE Michael Brockers. WEAKNESSES: There isn’t much depth at WR behind St. Brown, especially with second-year pro Jameson Williams suspended for six games for breaking the NFL’s rules on gambling. Detroit chose not to address its biggest void by passing on DT Jalen Carter in the draft, leaving a lackluster tandem of Alim McNeill and Isaiah Buggs.
