5 winners, 3 losers from Lions’ 34-7 preseason loss against Los Angeles Chargers

It’s been a long five months, but the NFL is back, and more importantly, the Detroit Lions are playing football.

This season, the Lions got an extra head start on the 2025 season by playing in the NFL Hall of Fame game on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. While the game was played mostly by backups and third stringers, it’s still important to the players trying to make the roster.

It’s also a good time for the coaches, old and new, to get back into the swing of things. Whether it’s Lions head coach Dan Campbell coaching in his fifth season, or a new coordinator like Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard and offensive coordinator John Morton, it’s good for them to start working out the kinks.
