Could it be?
Are the Detroit Lions finally breaking out of their underdog shell, and becoming the most obvious powerhouse in the NFL this season?
It's seeming more and more likely that this is the case, especially since the team is 4-1 to begin the year and have already begun to show that they're a top team in all three phases of the game. While that "underdog" or "overlooked" label might've expired back in 2023, they still seemed to get ignored in conversations regarding contending teams this offseason given the departures of Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn for head coaching vacancies.
