The Detroit Lions looked poised for a trip to the Super Bowl last season.

They were the most dominant team in the NFC, and they looked like the best team in the world when they were at their best.

Now, they return most of their pieces, but the ones they lost might be too valuable to overcome.

That’s why Mike Jones of The Athletic believes they’re due for regression this season:

“Detroit (and Kansas City) posted the best record in the league last season at 15-2, and oddsmakers gave the Lions strong early votes of confidence for Super Bowl contention. But the Lions could take a step back in 2025, and not just because they lost former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to head coaching jobs. The retirement of four-time Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow and free agency departure of right guard Kevin Zeitler also left huge holes in the heart of an offensive line that last season paved the way for one of the top rushing attacks and enabled quarterback Jared Goff to post the second-best passer rating in the league,” Jones wrote.
