The Detroit Lions are 0-7 on the season but they’re still working to make things interesting on game days. In last Sunday's game, the Lions did their best Run DMC impression against the Los Angeles Rams, only to end up falling short yet again.
The Lions' record is certainly disappointing, but coach Dan Campbell’s welcomed aggressiveness and their players’ level of effort leave many with the impression that this team is headed in the right direction.
Despite the directional optimism, most national analysts still ranked the Lions as they would any winless team—at the bottom of their power rankings.
