Detroit had the best regular season in franchise history last year, going 15-2 and earning the No. 1 seed in the NFC. However, the Lions failed to win a playoff game as they were upset at home by Washington in the Divisional Round. QB Jared Goff and head coach Dan Campbell now enter this season with a new-look staff.
Both coordinators got head coaching jobs this offseason, with OC Ben Johnson taking charge of the Bears and DC Aaron Glenn being named head coach of the Jets.
