Good News: Detroit Lions have officially announced the signing...

The Lions finished the 2023 season with a 12-5 record. Over the course of a long season, Detroit was tested and passed with flying colors whenever adversity was faced.

Heading into the postseason, Dan Campbell’s squad has just as good a shot to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl as the other seven teams.

What happened to the Lions on Sunday is the reason the Ravens and 49ers rested their frontline players. Rookie tight end Sam LaPorta, who was fifth among tight ends this season with 889 receiving yards, suffered a hyperextended knee and bone bruise.

His timeline for return hasn’t been determined, but he could miss their playoff opener. That could be a problem for a team that leans heavily on the league’s fifth-most prolific offense

The Lions aren’t just happy to be back in the playoffs as division champions after a 30-year drought. They want to roar loudly and be a factor in the NFC tournament.

They can win offensively with Jared Goff’s passing or a lot of running from their talented RBs. They also shut down the run and can rush the passer. However, shaky pass coverage can be a major Achilles’ heel against the loaded offenses in the playoffs.

There will be a lot of discussion concerning Dan Campbell’s decision to play his starters against the Vikings. Although a win kept the possibility of the No. 2 seed alive, the difference between the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds are negligible.
