In one NFL analysts’ assessment of which teams are most likely to win Super Bowl LVIII, the Brand New Lions didn’t crack the top five.
NFL.com’s Adam Schein ranked the Lions as the seventh-most likely team to hoist the Lombardi Trophy next month, citing some coaching concerns.
“I dig this Lions team. It’s an upstart group that has potential to do serious damage — not only in the remainder of this season, but for years to come. And unlike all those ‘Same Old Lions’ outfits that have disappointed Detroit for decades upon decades, this group has a serious swagger, most prominently in a Ben Johnson-coached offense that’s top five for the second straight season,” he writes.
