So much for the Detroit Lions being underrated.
I put the Lions at No. 18 in my preseason NFL power rankings last week, and wanted to put them higher but wrote I couldn’t “based off last season’s failures.”
Well, Sunday’s loss was reminiscent of last season’s failures, and it’s naturally caused them to drop in this week’s poll.
The Lions check in at No. 22 this week, down four spots and in the mix with some of the NFL’s other functional 0-1 teams.
The Cleveland Browns, who had a disastrous Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, are No.
