Detroit Lions look to rebound after disappointing 2025-26 season

The Detroit Lions begin preparations for the upcoming NFL season after a lackluster 2025-26 campaign that ended with a 9-8 record and no playoff berth. Head coach Dan Campbell expressed frustration, deeming the season an underachievement and calling for a return of competitive hunger. Despite these setbacks, the Lions possess significant talent, with stars like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Aidan Hutchinson. Offseason changes include the signing of new offensive line players and the departure of key roster members, including running back David Montgomery and cornerback Terrion Arnold. The team aims to prove that last season was an anomaly, riding on a favorable schedule projected to be one of the easiest in the NFL.
