It’s about this time every year that we wonder if the Detroit Lions are the next team to go from worst to first. What are we if not endlessly hopeful?
Every year, it seems at least one team provides us an outlet for that hope.

Those are just a few reasons ESPN’s Bill Barnwell believed the Lions were the most likely team to follow in their footsteps.
