Expectations are sky high for the Detroit Lions heading into the 2024 season. After years as perennial cellar dwellers, the Lions have transformed into potential Super Bowl contenders, igniting excitement among fans and earning widespread respect across the league. Many believe last year’s success wasn’t a fluke but the beginning of sustained excellence.
The Lions are bringing back nearly their entire starting core from last season. Additionally, their 2024 draft, widely regarded as one of the best, addressed many potential gaps. The team also signed savvy veterans in free agency, not only to replace departing players but also to mentor young talent. It’s evident that the Lions have a well-crafted plan, and the buzz around their potential to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl is strong.
As projections for win/loss totals and player stats begin to emerge, ESPN has released its potential stats and winning percentages for each team. The Lions are favored in nearly all their matchups, underscoring the high expectations for the upcoming season.
