The Detroit Lions are a game away from their first-ever Super Bowl appearance, but a behemoth stands in their way. The San Francisco 49ers have been the favorites in the NFC all season, and it isn’t a tough argument to say they have the most complete roster in football.
That said, the Lions are here for a reason. Their 12-5 season was no fluke, and it took extremely strong efforts in the first two rounds of the 2023 NFL Playoffs for Detroit to take down two of the hottest teams in the conference.
