Lions get hit with a major demotion within the NFC North in latest power rankings

The Detroit Lions, despite a 15-2 season in 2024, have once again found themselves as an underdog on another analyst's power rankings.

This time, it's courtesy FOX Sports' Ralph Vacchiano, who has the Lions all the way in 9th place in his rankings ahead of the 2025 season.

Ahead of them are a few teams that make sense - the Philadelphia Eagles are understandably first, with the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs right on their tails. It's who comes in at 5th overall that might boggle the minds of Lions fans who have been watching Detroit dominate the NFC North for the last two seasons: the Green Bay Packers.
