Lions and Eagles and football, oh my.
The Lions and Eagles make for a pair of the NFL's most interesting squads for the 2022 season. The Eagles outperformed expectations in 2022, while the Lions were just about in line with what people were expecting.
This year could prove to be more of the same, just with some heightened expectations. Nick Sirianni earned praise for his ability to squeeze a very good season out of passer Jalen Hurts, and now with an added offensive weapon in A.J. Brown, the team could prove to be pesky in the NFC East once again.
Dan Campbell and the Lions have a similar opportunity in the NFC North: With one of the league's best offensive lines, there's a world in which Detroit can go from worst to … well, maybe not first, but somewhere better than finishing in last.
