The Detroit Lions aren’t anywhere close to being the team they’ve been for most of their history.
Dan Campbell has turned this organization around, and they’re now a force to be reckoned with in the National Football League.
That’s why, following a trip to the NFC Championship Game, star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson believes they’re poised to take care of business this season.
Talking to Brad Galli of WXYZ Detroit at the Rocket Classic, the Michigan product claimed that he truly felt like this was their year to take a leap forward and win the whole thing.
Truth be told, that’s not as far-fetched as some may think.
We’re talking about a team that has made great strides to get better on both sides of the field.
They improved their secondary defense this season, and they have plenty of weapons to work with on offense as well.
Dan Campbell’s uber-aggressive approach cost them when it mattered the most, but he should learn from his mistakes and get better with more experience.
This team has rallied together, and they feed off each other on both sides of the field, and they were just 30 minutes away from reaching the Super Bowl last season, so it’s not like they’re that far behind.
Of course, it won’t be easy to get to that stage again, and their own division will be very competitive for years to come.
But the Lions are ahead of schedule and better than most teams in the NFC, so they definitely have a chance.
