Tim Wright, Joseph Fauria provide interesting Lions storyline in preseason finale: http://espn.go.com/blog/detroit-lions/post/_/id/18643/tim-wright-joseph-fauria-provide-interesting-lions-storyline-in-preseason-finale
NFL's top offensive divisions, ranked (2. NFC North - Each team in this perennial powerful division has a legitimate franchise quarterback with a strong supporting cast. Prior to Jordy Nelson's season-ending ACL tear, the Packers' offense would've ranked as one of the most explosive, led by Aaron Rodgers and a deep, talented receiving corps. Randall Cobb is a suitable replacement as a WR1, but to make up for Nelson's lost production, Green Bay will lean onDavante Adams, Ty Montgomery, Andrew Quarless and Richard Rodgers, collectively. The Lions' offense is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous in the league, with Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate comprising an imposing 1-2 punch on the perimeter. Matthew Stafford takes advantage of their skills by tossing pinpoint passes to every area of the field. With Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddickenhancing the passing game as change-of-pace backs, Detroit's electric attack has big-play potential at every turn. If Eric Ebron can live up to the pre-draft hype, the Lions will have a big-bodied athlete capable of controlling the middle of the field. Most importantly, they will have an offense without a glaring hole in the lineup. The Vikings don't come to mind when most observers envision a big-play offense, but they have all the components needed to light up the scoreboard. Teddy Bridgewater is a pinpoint passer surrounded by a plethora of playmakers (Charles Johnson, Mike Wallace, Cordarrelle Patterson and Kyle Rudolph) and the best running back in the game (Adrian Peterson). If coach Mike Zimmer discovers the right combination along the offensive line, Minnesota could terrorize opponents this fall. In Chicago, Jay Cutler's inconsistency mars his undeniable talent, but he could finally play up to his potential under coordinator Adam Gase. Injuries to Kevin White and Alshon Jeffery could prevent Cutler from posting big numbers, but Eddie Royal and Martellus Bennett might play well enough to help the Bears win more than a handful of games.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000520573/article/nfls-top-offensive-divisions-nfc-east-nfc-north-both-stacked
2015 NFC playoff predictions: Cowboys or Eagles in the East? (NFC North - Dave Dameshek: Detroit Lions. This team is ripe. Time for Detroit to go on a run. NFC Wild Card 1 - Jeffri Chadiha: Detroit Lions. Yes, the defense won't be the same without Ndamukong Suh. It also won't be bad with the healthy return ofStephen Tulloch and the addition of Haloti Ngata. Marc Sessler: Lions. Stafford would need to be kidnapped by a gang of angry political dissidents to avoid making plays with all that talent around him. NFC Wild Card 2 - Steve Wyche: Detroit Lions. Another overlooked team. The defense will miss Suh, but this team might be better overall than last season's edition.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000520809/article/2015-nfc-playoff-predictions-cowboys-or-eagles-in-the-east
