The Detroit Lions were tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the NFL’s best record in the 2024 season.
They were highly touted coming into the season, and the hype and excitement were certainly warranted given how well they performed.
Head coach Dan Campbell rallied the troops during the offseason to make them into a spectacular team, and they certainly lived up to the hype, at least during the regular season.
They fell short of expectations during the playoffs, falling to the Washington Commanders in the divisional round, but they seem hungry and ready to go for the 2025 campaign.
Campbell noted as much in a recent press conference shared by Brad Galli on X.
“Thank God it’s here, almost. It’s time. It’s time to get ready for the season and this opener, get ready to go to Lambeau. I love where our team’s at,” Campbell said.

Campbell is known for wearing his heart on his sleeve and being a football guy, through and through.
He is geared up and ready to see what his team can do, which starts with an away game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Fans of both teams are excited to see who will start the season 1-0, and who will have to dig themselves out of a hole from the get-go.
The Lions had the Packers’ number last season, narrowly beating them in their first meeting and taking care of business in the second.
If their injuries have resolved themselves like Campbell and others have indicated, the Lions could once again be a scary team on anyone’s schedule, including the Packers in their first game of the season.
