The Detroit Lions are gearing up for the 2026 NFL season following a disappointing 9-8 finish in 2025. This came after a successful prior season where they reached the NFC Championship Game and recorded a franchise-best 15-2. Key players like Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown remain on the roster, providing hope for a return to form.
