32 looming questions under center: What every NFL team still needs to answer about its QB situation (Detroit Lions - Can Jared Goff overcome all of the changes in Detroit? Three of Goff's top four QBR seasons came the past three years with Ben Johnson as his offensive coordinator, and Johnson has left to coach the Bears. Several other members of the Lions' coaching staff have moved on to other jobs, too. Center Frank Ragnow just retired. MThe Lions have had a lot of success since Goff and coach Dan Campbell got there, and they should still be expected to be one of the top teams in the league. But things will look significantly different around Goff in some key aspects this season, and he'll need to answer some of the questions himself.): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45485035/2025-nfl-quarterback-questions-32-teams-battles-contracts-expectations
NFL's top 10 offenses in 2025? Bills, Bucs, Ravens headline my projection; Broncos coming in HOT (5. Detroit Lions: Detroit easily led the league in offensive scoring last season, averaging nearly three whole points more than the next-best attack (Buffalo). So, what’s with the No. 5 ranking here? Well, the Lions suffered significant attrition, on both the sideline and the field of play. Ben Johnson, who composed a top-five scoring offense in each of his three years as coordinator, finally took a head-coaching job, assuming control of the rival Bears. The offensive line, which has been Detroit’s calling card during this come-up, lost right guard Kevin Zeitler to free agency and center Frank Ragnow to retirement. Suddenly, the unit’s interior is in flux, which is quite worrying for an offense that loves to pound the football. Fortunately, new coordinator John Morton still has plenty of talent at his disposal. Jared Goff just threw a career-best 37 touchdown passes en route to his fourth Pro Bowl nod, furthering one of the league’s best comeback stories. Furthermore, in addition to having one of the best tackle combos in the league today (Penei Sewell and Taylor Decker), the Lions boast a first-team All-Pro receiver (Amon-Ra St. Brown), another 1,000-yard wideout with eye-popping speed (Jameson Williams), a mismatch weapon at tight end (Sam LaPorta) and a bruising back with a nose for the end zone (David Montgomery). But the player who excites me the most on this unit is third-year back Jahmyr Gibbs. A Pro Bowler in each of his first two NFL campaigns, “Sonic” looked like a video game cheat code down the stretch last season, averaging 165.5 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns during his final four games (including playoffs). Honestly, every touch felt like must-see TV. If Detroit can re-settle its interior offensive line, Morton’s biggest challenge will be judiciously feeding all this firepower, a balancing act that Johnson mastered.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-s-top-10-offenses-in-2025-bills-bucs-ravens-headline-my-projection-broncos-coming-in-hot
Best- and worst-case 2025 scenarios for every NFL team (Detroit Lions - Best-case scenario: The legend of Dan Campbell expands as the coach takes a firmer grip on the offense, allowing Jared Goff to feed his plethora of playmakers to the point Detroit -- so used to taking big blows -- finally reaches the Super Bowl. Worst-case scenario: Goff can't shake the sour end to 2024 behind a shuffled front and without coordinator Ben Johnson, and Campbell's aura isn't enough to outlast a tough schedule in the NFC North; they dip to wild-card territory.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/best-and-worst-case-scenarios-for-every-nfl-team-in-2025-chiefs-back-on-top-bears-to-end-playoff-drought/
2025 NFL Offseason Winners and Losers: Steelers, Cowboys, Raiders Improve (INDIFFERENT SECTION - Detroit Lions’ departures. The Lions were hit hard this offseason, including the departures of coordinators Johnson and Aaron Glenn, as well as the recent retirement of All-Pro center Frank Ragnow. But there were no panic moves from the organization. They calmly leaned on their successful blueprint of building through the trenches. Detroit should be fine on the interior with Graham Glasgow likely moving back to center, between guards Christian Mahogany and Tate Ratledge, who both arrived in the past two drafts. Coach Dan Campbell doesn’t seem worried about the offseason losses. Look how excited he is about drawing a brutal schedule.): https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-offseason-winners-losers-steelers-cowboys-raiders-improve
One player each NFC team should add to fill its biggest need (Detroit Lions - Biggest need: Edge rusher. Yes, the Lions are getting Aidan Hutchinson back, but coming off injury, they should try to make his return as easy on him as possible. That is, not making him shoulder the load too much too soon. Detroit is also relying on the health of Marcus Davenport on the other side of the defensive line even with Hutchinson healthy. That hasn’t worked out in recent seasons, so getting another guy off the edge can’t hurt. Potential acquisition: Matthew Judon): https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/one-player-each-nfc-team-should-add-fill-its-biggest-need
