The 2021 Detroit Lions are a fascinating team. Despite their 0-7 record and the history of this team’s failures, there is an undeniably positive vibe both within and outside of their practice facility in Allen Park. Players are showing confidence on and off the field, coaches are noticing week-to-week improvements, and a fanbase that has been notoriously (and understandably) cynical overwhelmingly believes this team is headed in the right direction.
Lions quarterback coach Mark Brunell sees it, too. On Friday speaking with the media, he spoke glowingly of the culture of the franchise, specifically how the players have come into work every day without losing motivation or comradery.
