Let’s start with the recurring poll. Fresh off of an exciting offseason culminating in being featured on “Hard Knocks,” Lions fans were all-in on this team. After a solid showing against the Eagles in Week 1 and victory over the Commanders in Week 2, 98% of fans believed Detroit was headed in the right direction.
That energy took a hit after a 1-6 start to the year, bottoming out at 47% after being shut out by the Patriots. But winning cures all, and things trended up from there.
As the Lions stacked win after win, fans began to believe in them.
