USA Today (18. Lions (23): The arrow has been trending up since last season, through "Hard Knocks" and into the opener, when they gave one of the NFC's best teams all it could handle. Eventually, Detroit has to turn its promise into wins, but don't be surprised if Dan Campbell's crew hangs around the playoff picture into January.): https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2022/09/13/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-2022-bills-chiefs-chargers-afc/10363421002/

SI (23. Detroit Lions (0-1): On The MMQB podcast, we labeled the Lions the NFC’s budget Titans. This will be a fun year in Detroit. If you were a Lions fan two years ago, how badly would you have wanted to be the budget Titans?! Dan Campbell’s team is going to hang with opponents and run the hell out of the ball. Jared Goff is better than we think.): https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/09/13/nfl-power-rankings-week-1-buffalo-bills-kansas-city-chiefs-los-angeles-chargers
FTW (23. Detroit Lions (0-1) (Last week’s rank: 27): Jared Goff didn’t look great, but his offensive line kept him upright and cleared a path for Detroit’s run game to average 6.5 yards per carry against the Eagles. The Lions are still a year away from contention, but they’re built to ruin a few other teams’ playoff hopes along the way.): https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-broncos-bills-chiefs
Fox sports (24. Detroit Lions: The Lions gave it their all in a scrappy, one-possession loss — which is a narrative that should sound familiar by now. It's still a fair guess that this Detroit team is going to take its share of lumps, but the Lions continue to give the impression that they're not going to lie down for anyone.): https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-power-rankings-bills-on-top-jets-on-bottom-and-cowboys-fall-how-far
Touchdown wire (26. Detroit Lions (0-1) (Last Week: No. 27): Even though the Lions took the L, they made the Philadelphia Eagles earn their 1-0 start. Even though they were down 17 points to start the fourth quarter, Detroit never gave in. The Lions still need some talent, but are starting to shake their attitude for losing.): https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-power-rankings-week-1-bills-chiefs-dominant/
NFL.com (26. Lions (Previous rank: No. 25): The Lions opened the season by hanging until the final minute with a loaded Eagles team that had the look of a potential NFC superpower. That counts as progress for Dan Campbell’s team, which showed resolve in a 38-35 loss at a raucous Ford Field. There will be a time when merely hanging with a tough opponent won’t be good enough, but for now, the Lions appear on the right track. Keep an eye on D’Andre Swift, who ran for 144 yards and looks fully primed to deliver the biggest running back season by a Lions player since Barry Sanders was in town. The defense is an obvious work in progress, but the Detroit attack looks ready to go.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-2022-nfl-season
Athlon Sports (26. Detroit Lions (Last week: 27): Hard Knocks aficionados probably thought the Lions would be more competitive this year and that seemed to be the case against the Eagles, even if they couldn’t get one extra stop when they needed it the most.): https://athlonsports.com/nfl/nfl-power-rankings
SN (27. Detroit Lions 0-1 (23): Here we go again with the Lions not quitting and showing full "Hard Knocks" mode for Dan Campbell. They have too much offensive firepower and blocking around Jared Goff to not be relentlessly competitive in comeback mode. Unfortunately, the defense still can't stop much of anything to help.): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-1/bh4nuksno1u7gdx4u1eokemf
ESPN ( 27. Detroit Lions (0-1) (Preseason ranking: 26): Rookie who stood out: LB Malcolm Rodriguez. Many people didn't know what to expect when the Lions drafted Rodriguez as a sixth-rounder this summer, but the rookie earned a starting role in his NFL debut at linebacker, racking up six total tackles -- including a tackle for loss. The Oklahoma State product is becoming a fan favorite after being prominently featured on HBO's "Hard Knocks." Although No. 2 overall pick Aidan Hutchinson gets a ton of hype, and rightfully so, the 23-year-old -- nicknamed "Rodrigo" -- is proving to be another top option on defense. -- Eric Woodyard): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34580647/nfl-week-2-power-rankings-2022-1-32-poll-rookies-stood-week-1#DET
Yahoo (27. Detroit Lions (0-1, LW: 24): The Lions were in the game at the end but they can't be giving up 38 points at home. The Eagles might be pretty good this season and there's no problem in losing to them, but the defensive issues need to get fixed right away.): https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-power-rankings-can-beat-up-cowboys-survive-through-dak-prescotts-injury-042421457.html
