The arrival of the Detroit Lions on the national scene this year is front-page news, but to those paying close attention to what this latest regime of Lions leadership has brought to the table, you’ll know they’ve been on the doorstep for almost a calendar year.
“If you’re hunting us,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said after the team’s victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 4, “you won’t have to look far. We’re gonna be on your front porch.”
Detroit has proven, through five weeks, to be one of the best teams, not just in their division, or in their conference, but in the entire league.
