In 2023, the Detroit Lions surprised the NFL by winning the NFC North division for the first time after struggling for years.
They didn’t stop there, making it all the way to the NFC Championship against the San Francisco 49ers.
Making it to the NFC title game was certainly an accomplishment for this team, but that is not their goal in 2024 and beyond.
The Lions are going to do everything possible to reach the Super Bowl this year, as evidenced by their offseason additions.
They added D.J. Reader to their defensive line, which should be a big help to an already strong unit.
After he left the Cincinnati Bengals to join the Lions, Reader appeared on The Jim Rome Show to discuss his next move. Reader said, “I don’t see any setbacks keeping me from being able to be right back where I was and the player I was. When I’m out there playing, I’m one of the top three players at my position.”
Reader has recently dealt with ailments that have kept him off the field during crucial games.
As he stated on Rome’s show, he does not believe that will be the case in 2024, as he is feeling fantastic and ready to go.
