The Detroit Lions heard all the noise. After a stumble that had critics ready to bury them, the narrative quickly turned to whether Dan Campbell’s team was slipping back into old habits. But in their latest performance, the Lions reminded the league that they’re still very much a force to be reckoned with.
Detroit didn’t just win — they responded with the kind of fire and physicality that has become their trademark under Campbell. From a defense that flew to the ball, to an offense that rediscovered its rhythm, the Lions looked like the gritty, resilient squad that stormed into the NFC playoff picture last season.
Every good team faces adversity, and for the Lions, this was a “prove-it” game. Instead of folding, they flexed their muscle and showed that talk of their demise was nothing more than premature chatter. The win not only steadied the ship but also reinforced Detroit’s standing as a legitimate NFC contender.
The message was loud and clear: these Lions aren’t going away anytime soon.
